GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Each of my kids have their own pillow, not personalized ones but specially sewn for them by my mom. They are awfully attached to their respective security pillows and must have them during their sleep. Though my older boy has outgrown his pillow, the younger one has been bugging me to sew her a bigger and “prettier” one.
Being terrible at sewing, I was lucky to have discovered the Personalized Name Pillows pdf version book which is available from YouCanMakeThis.com. I was amazed how easy it was to follow the step by step instructions! The book comes with pattern, alphabet cut-outs and easy instruction and even teaches you how to pair fabrics of your choice. You really wouldn’t believe how simple making a personalized pillow can possibly be until you try it.
