Letter Sweater Pillow {Breaking In My New Sewing Machine}



If you follow me on Facebook, you may have heard that I was blessed with a new sewing machine for Christmas.

Last weekend, I finally carved out some time to break it out of the box & try it out! 

This was my first project. 

Since I'm such a beginner at sewing I didn't attempt to do up a tutorial, but just wanted to share it with you. 



I used a thrifted sweater to sew the pillow cover & then used my cricut to cut out a template for the "P". I traced the "P" onto some grey felt, cut it out & sewed it on. 

It was pretty easy & didn't take me all that long.



My son, Parker was really excited to have a new little cushion on his reading chair. His reaction was priceless. Who knew a 9 year old would get so excited over a pillow? He must be a chip of the old block, as they say. :)

Here's to many more successful sewing projects!
