Princess Pocket Pillow
Hannah and I were at the store buying some fabric for the wedding dresses I will soon be trying to make. (If I can just figure out how to lay out the pattern and get the pieces cut out!) She spotted this princess fabric and begged me to get it for her. I saw that all of the flannel on the shelf was on sale for $2.00/yard and thought it would make a nice pillowcase so I got a yard and a half. After waiting around forever to get my fabrics all measured and cut I made my way to the register to pay. On the receipt I noticed that the princess fabric was priced at $6.00/yard. I asked the cashier about it to which she helpfully responded, “Ya, sometimes people put things back in the wrong place.” Ok, thanks. She said I could give it back and she would void it from the receipt. But now it was already cut and my two year old is dying to get it home. So I bought it anyway. I figured since this pillow case jumped from costing only $3.00 to $9.00 I better make it a good one.
Hannah is also very attached to her binkies, and I had a brilliant idea- I would sew a large pocket onto the pillowcase so she can keep her binky in there during the day and have it only during bedtime. It’s a step in the right direction. I just can’t do the cold-turkey no binkies thing for her. She’ll just find one of Sabrina’s. So far it hasn’t been wildly successful, but now that we’re back home maybe it will work better. So, here it is in all it’s glory:
Hannah’s Princess Binky Pocket Pillow
Haven and Gracen would seriosly maim someone to get a beautiful pillowcase like that Amy, awesome job! I think I will be making a trip to the fabric store soon for princess fabric, once my little girls see this picture the begging won’t stop I’m sure. I love your pocket idea, so fun! I think it would be great for my two little girls to keep their bedtime “must have” toy/doll safe until bedtime, I am getting sick of hunting it down all of the time right before bed. What a fantastic idea, thanks for passing this one on! And Hannah is so cute, we can’t wait to see you guys!
Very snuggly! Just what a girl wants.
So Cute and what a great idea. I love the pictures you can tell she is proud of her pillow. Hannah is so cute I can’t wait for her and Estee to meet(again).
I love the “pretending to sleep” picture. So cute.
You’re such a cute sweet mommy!
Very cute idea.
