Project Design Team Wednesday~Tooth Fairy Pillow for a boy or girl

Posted by administrator on Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

I'm Jamie, one of the Crafting Chicks from www.thecraftingchicks.com. The CHICKS are so excited to be part of the Riley Blake Design team. We are huge fans of Riley Blake fabric, crafting and sewing. We look forward to sharing some of our sewing tutorials with you!

Today I am sharing my tooth fairy pillow tutorial with you. I have 2 six year olds that are just beginning to lose their teeth. I'm sure by next Christmas, they will be singing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." When I was little my mom made me a tooth fairy pillow. I still remember it and hope it is safely in my keepsake box. It was a blue pillow, the shape of a tooth with a mini pocket on top. I LOVED my little pillow. I knew I had to make one for my little ones one day. So here is my version...can't wait to share it with you.

I made the girl pillows first. Great girl fabric is easy to find...boy fabric can be tricky. I LOVE the designs at Riley Blake. I fell in love with the SUPER STAR COTTONS to use for the boy tooth fairy pillows...love love love it!

For the Tooth Fairy Pillows, YOU WILL NEED:

-2 squares sized 7 1/2 inches (coordinating patterns) -2 squares sized 5 3/4 inches (same pattern) -Felt for the mini pocket (you choose the color) -Tooth shape (small and large) You can download my tooth pattern below:) I used an electronic cutting tool to cut out iron on fabric into a tooth shape, as well as the name -Name (you can use iron on letters or and electronic cutting tool to cut out the name) -Ric-rac, ribbon, or a ruffle to add to the pocket -Great fabric scissors (a must with all sewing) -Ribbon to hang the pillow (about 10 inches) -Polyester fiber fill

I have 8 grandsons and 4 granddaughters, of which 4 of the oldest will be six yrs old this year. Thought it would be a great present for their birthdays. Thanks
