      No, I haven’t converted any of my instructions into PDF patterns. Sorry.

    Love the style of this pillow but I would like someway to be able to wash it. Any suggestions?

      I’ve never washed mine, but you could try carefully washing it in cold water. I would just line dry it, then carefully iron out any wrinkles with a warm iron. Hopefully it works!

    Hi Kara,
    Your pillow is one of my favorite Christmas pillows I’ve ever seen! I wish I had discovered this tutorial sooner, but I’ve pinned it for next year. Well, with all of those leaves I may start now. Thanks! I’m following you.

    Beautiful pillow! PB should hire you to design for them. I would add a safety feature to the pattern if you have small children in the house over the holidays, sew the buttons instead of using a glue gun. Might keep them on the pillow and not in a toddlers mouth.

    I agree with everyone else-your cushion looks amazing and way better than the PB version. You are so clever!

    Best wishes,

      lovely! may i ask why you needed the folded over 1 inch thread on the backside-could you do without?

        You don’t want the thread showing, and if you clip the thread it can unravel. Since you have to use glue on the back of the leaf anyway, folding the thread down is the easiest option. 🙂

    This is great! I think I might just give this a whirl. I really like that you used buttons as the berries on the pillow. Hey, I’d be thrilled if you came and linked this up to the Head to Head Showdown going on right now at http://www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com
