Now that all the kids in my family have opened their Christmas presents, I can show you my favorite sweater pillows that I made--I call them bedtime story sweater pillows. I got the idea from my little
owl pillow that has a pocket on the back. I'm not sure what the pocket is supposed to be for because it's so small (maybe a tooth for the tooth fairy?), but it got me to thinking about pockets and what else I could use one for on a pillow, and I came up with a pocket for a book. Kids always love to have special little places, little compartments for things, and I thought it would be a good spot for a favorite book. I made 12 of them, each with a bookmark, and here are a few of my favorites. Time to snuggle up with a book!
PS. Thanks for your comments about my blog woes! They made me feel better. For now, I'll keep doing what I've been doing, but maybe soon I'll have a new look for my blog.

What a fantastic idea!
Theses are GORGEouS!! You're so right about kids loving little hidden compartments for their stuff, I'm sure these are a big hit!
What an adorable idea! I love it.
LEIGH! These are so cute I want to cry. As for the blog I LOVE it just like it is and can't wait to read it. LOVE YOU! Will be sending out change of address some day soon.
Wow Leigh- those turned out great!
I am so head over heels with these darling books! I have a pile of vintage sweaters that I've been dying to turn into baby sweaters or something, but now you have me crushing on these! Thanks for the inspiration and oh yeah--I love your blog!
Leigh...these are sooooo cute!!! Can't wait to see you before your move.
Love ya,
Mom XXXXOOOOXXXX
comfy.
I don't suppose you are making and selling sweater pillows, are you? I'd buy.
Hi Kate, no I'm sorry I won't be making any more for a while. We just moved to London and our stuff won't be here for a few more weeks and we don't have an apartment. So it'll probably be spring before I'm making much of anything that requires a sewing machine!
