It was my mother-in-law's birthday today. I wanted to make something for her and I found
this tutorial for a bow tie neck pillow at
sew4home and thought it would make a great gift. I used some fabric from the Pretty Bird line by Michael Miller found
here. I think it turned out really cute. Instead of using ribbon straps suggested in the tutorial, I made some 1" double-fold bias tape from a coordinating fabric. The straps are supposed to help you reposition the pillow. The instructions said it should take less than an hour to make, but between chasing Boo around and my slow sewing skills, it took me more like two hours.
My husband also picked up a gift card for her. I wanted to dress it up so I made a cute gift card holder using the tutorial
here from
Make it and Love it.
