This is a bit of a catch-up post since I forgot to write about the boys’ pillows back in the spring!
These pillows were a long time coming. I started cross-stitching the first superhero pattern in 2013 (!!), shortly after moving to this house. I was able to finish the stitching part quickly…but then they just sat in my closet, untouched and collecting dust. Thank goodness for my boys! Their frequent reminders (“When are we going to make our pillows, mama?” “Could we make our superhero pillows soon, mama?”) got my bum in gear and this project checked off the list.
Each pillow uniquely fits the owner. From choosing the pattern to picking the fabrics, each boy had a hand in every step and they are so proud of the results! I am too.
{100 beautiful things} No.005-007: Superhero Cross-Stitch Pillows
Details:
Patterns are all from Wee Little Stitches and stitched on linen I had on hand
Pillow forms are 12″x16″ purchased at Joann’s
I loosely used this tutorial to make the envelope backs (but had to do some math to make it work for my pillow forms)
