We don’t have very many sitting options in our apartment, so I’ve been thinking of making floor pillows. I’ve thought about it a lot more since getting the Amy Butler’s In Stitches book. My motivation increased when we had two couples over for a movie night. It was too bad that I only had time to make one by the time everyone came over. Since then I’ve finished my set of pillows, and I’m very happy with them!!
I didn’t really make them much like the pattern in the Amy Butler book. I didn’t use buttons, and I used a combination of polyester fiber-fill and high density foam. I think the combination makes them more comfortable and gives them more structure.
I love the buttons on the dress too and the pillows are awesome! I’ve recently started to try and pick up sewing as a hobby and I find your blog both inspiring and intimidating. I took your tip to ask designer-type stores for scraps of fabric and have made a little skirt for my 10 month-old daughter so thanks! But I was wondering about this book by Amy Butler you mentioned, “Stitches”. Is it good? Would you recommend it? I don’t have any sewing books myself; just a mother and sister whom I call when in a pinch.
Hey! I was just looking at your myspace and saw your link to your blog. How are you?? I see that you will soon be having a little one…how awesome!! Is it a boy or girl? How are you and Chris doing? Seems like just a few days ago we lived together…time flies. Keep in touch!!!
