My one and only niece has graduated from college and is now "setting the world on fire" with a new job! Along with that new job, comes her first post-college apartment. She saw a pillow similar to this one recently and loved it - so I made one for her - kind of an apartment-warming gift! Along with the pillow, I'm sending a sewing-kit-in-a-jar. Doesn't every young person in their first place need one of these??
Happy first apartment, Betsy!
I pulled a thread from the burlap to make it easier to cut a straight line - on the grain.
Used a little HeatnBond . . .
and some linen.
This is a take on the pillow Betsy chose. I added stitching around the edge . . .
and a blanket stitch around the applique.
For those times when a button pops off she'll have a jar of 12 different colors of thread, scissors, safety pins, and a needle.
The top is a pincushion!
Happy Housewarming to my favorite niece!!!

Sweet! love the kit in a jar, what a fun gift!
Wow, if that bird eats any more he's not going to fit on the cushion!
Love both the cushion and the sewing kit.
I was looking for the rabbit you painted for Grandma and was so excited to read this post! YAY for fat bird pillows! I'm so very excited to give him a home in my living room. I must think of a great name. I can't wait for him to arrive! Thank you, thank you!
