DIY {reversible} Mustache Pillow

I've been on a mustache kick lately. Not real mustaches, the cute cartoon ones. Check out this post if you like mustaches too. Today I bring to you, another mustache craft:

The mustache pillow.

It took me a while to finish the wholre project. Not because it's hard. Because I messed it up and it took a while before I was willing to try again. And I finished it just in time for my birthday. (I'm going to be 14!!!!!). I don't think there's a better present than accomplishing something you've been putting off (except a new sewing machine *wink *wink). 

I even included a FREE pattern (I'm so nice ;)).

I made it for  my little nook.  It looks so cute (stay tuned for another pillow tutorial)

This is the front

And this is the back.


So if you want to make one, here's the tutorial.

materials:
-pattern (from here )
-fabric (two different coordinating ones)
-stuffing
-needle and thread
-pins
-fabric scissors

1) Print out the pattern. You will need to print the pattern out twice, cut it out, and then tape the two pieces together.

2) Pin the mustache pattern onto your fabric and cut. Make sure to add a seam allowance. Do this once on both of the fabrics.

3) Pin the two cut out pieces of fabric right sides together and sew a 1/2" seam around the edge.       Remember to leave an opening at the end so you can flip it.

4) Flip your fabric. push out all the corners and curves. This might take a while, but don't give up!!

5) Stuff your pillow with stuffing. Then use your needle and thread to close the hole. That's it, pretty simple, right?

DIY travel Pillows

School is coming to a close and you can feel the summer magic in the air. In order to make this summer one to remember I'm going to be sharing projects related to summer. SUMMER HERE WE COME!!!!

.   .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .     .     .     .

Edited to Add: I just tried these out on my trip and they are amazing. The seat belt doesn't cut into your shoulder when you where them and it makes sleeping in the car easier. 

As I mentioned before, Summer is almost here. I'm so excited! . One of the things I 'm going to be doing this summer is driving 14 hours to Utah with my 18 month old, 6 year old, 9 year old, and 11 year old siblings. Not the highlight of my summer, but my goal this year is to make this drive FUN and enjoyable. One of the things I decided would help are these seatbelt travel pillows.

fifteen pillowcases

  For a school project, all the six graders have to do a service project for a grade. Me and my friend  teamed up. we were given two dollars and had to make it grow. We actually got two eegee's party packs donated. than we sold the eegee's and used the money to make pillow cases for UMC medical center

here is a pic of the finished pillowcases.
