chopped vegetables {a pillow}

If you've been following my blog for a while you know I love making pillows. They usually don't take too long to make and provide a great opportunity to try some new patterns and techniques.

Last night I decided to give Elizabeth's "chopped vegetables" a try.


I ended up improvising and making things up as I went because I didn't really have the actual pattern for the pillow, but I had instructions for a similar quilt and it seemed to work pretty well. Next time, though, I'm going to make my "vegetables" a little wider.


I decided to finish this pillow off with the same fun button closure as I did on my latest hexie pillow. It does take a little bit extra time, but I think it's totally well worth all the effort.


I might need to restock on my polka dotty buttons soon. They are such perfectly perfect size and shape for the pillows.

Now I just need to finish one quilt and two more pillows and all my Christmas presents will be ready, yay! How is your Christmas sewing going?

Have a lovely evening, everyone. Svetlana
