Quick Christmas Gifts

It seems that every year I'm always scrambling to find gifts for my friends for Christmas. This year was no exception. Luckly, I was able to think of something that would be quick to make and that I think they will enjoy.

I made them each a throw pillow with each of their first intials on the front.

I picked out a fabric for the body of the pillow and then a contrasting color for the letter.

I got on the computer and printed the letters out on a heavier paper and used them as templates. I traced the letters lightly on to the fabric and cut them out.

Then, I pinned them on to the body fabric and zig-zagged stitched them on.

After that, all I had to do was sew the front and back of the pillow together and stuff them. They were all easy and quick to do.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
