How lucky we are!
It was so fun to go out to mailbox and find the current GreenCraft Magazine in there, and discovering we had our pillow in the pages...!!!!!  :)

Can't you just see yourself taking a little nap on the couch, cozy with your head on this snugly pillow....
Makes me sleepy just thinking of it....  :-)

Getting rid of your favorite sweater is hard to do, so instead of donating it to charity or throwing it in the garbage, do what we do:  fashion it into a snugly center-piece for your sofa!

If you want to make your own sweater-number pillow, you just go, girl!

  • Instructions on how to sew the pillow are FREE at the bottom of this post AND in the magazine {The file is the  same article as in the magazine...}
  • If you would like the FREE PDF file on how to make those fun number-prints....  that is also included at the bottom...  :-)

For your sewing pleasure!
Enjoy!!!!   :)
