Circle Pillows

I wanted to add some pillows to the couch in my classroom but I wanted something a little different than the standard squares and rectangles.

But at the same time, I didn't want to invest too much time because accidents happen, especially with 18 month olds! I wanted pillows I didn't have to have a panic attack over.

That is when I got the idea to make them circles! Easy to sew, not much extra work and something different to look at- win win!

Plus I think this fabric is sooooo fun! One of my co-workers gave it to me, she is so sweet!

Materials:
Fabric
Sewing machine
Pillow fluff
Scissors


First I traced a circle on my folded over (right sides together) fabric, I didn't have one big enough so I used a bowl as a guide and just traced a line about an inch bigger than that. 


Then I used the first circle as a pattern for the rest of them, I made 8 total.

 

 

Next, I just sewed them leaving a pocket, turned them right side out and stuffed them with the pillow fluff. 
Closed off the hole and done...that really didn't need a tutorial probably but oh well.
