Smiley Pillow Sewing Pattern - 25 x 25 cm

The Y2K retro style is everywhere right now – and somehow smileys instantly make you feel a little happier. That’s exactly how this smiley pillow came to life: a small sewing project that comes together quickly, but makes a big difference once it’s on your couch or bed. It fits beautifully in a kid’s room, a teen’s room, or a first apartment.
To make it easy to create your favorite look, you get three smiley variations to choose from – as appliqué templates. And if you love playing with color, this is the perfect project – the brighter, the better.
The instructions are written in a way that works well for beginners with a bit of sewing experience. Basic appliqué knowledge is helpful – and if appliqué is new to you, the matching Basic Knowledge Guide is included so you can get started with confidence.
For fabric, anything soft and cozy works wonderfully: fleece, teddy, faux fur, or poplin are great choices. With the right interfacing, the filling stays in place and does not show through.

Cheerful retro design: Three smiley options to brighten your day.
Quick and easy: A relaxed project for beginners with basic skills.
Fully equipped: Pattern incl. appliqué templates.
Versatile use: Great for a kid’s room, teen’s room, or a first apartment.
Size: approx. 25 × 25 cm
