This year I have been trying to sew as many Christmas gifts as possible. Well do you know that there really isn't that many things you can sew for guys!
Thankfully I came across this super cute car fabric on Black Wednesday at Joann's.
My Dad's office is swimming in cars so I thought these would be a nice addition to the chairs he got a while back.
I had a cute little man observing while I sewed.
At first I planned to just have the car material as the front and then red as back.
Then I sewed them and it was a bit busy so change of plans!
I figured added the red as a border in the front would help soften the busyness of the cars.
I pinned the cars in place and sewed them down. I was really nervous the fabric would shift and be crooked, but thankfully all went well.
Two pillows....
ready to be stuffed!
Nice and fluffy!
Now I just needed to stitch up the hole where I stuffed them and I'd be done.
This was the part I was dreading. I've sewed up things before after stuffing them and let me tell you...it wasn't pretty. I really wanted to make this professional looking so what did I do....YouTube! Yep...I watched and YouTube video and now I know how to do a ladder stitch and the seam looks great!
All done!
