I'm going to make pillow cases for them because I'm certain they won't wash well unless I quilt the pillow. If I do that they'll be flat and the girls are sure to protest. So, I'll make pillow cases out of two other receiving blankets I have from their infancy.
I also made these two guys:
In these photos you can also see how thick the toddler pillows are...or should I say, how thin they are. They have just the right amount of softness, I think.
Sunny loves the pink teddy. No one loves the rainbow teddy. Poor guy. He's unloved. He was the first one I made and I forgot to embroider his face before I did the decreases to close his head, so I had to do it after I had finished him. That's why he looks like a train wreck. Its not his fault! The pink one turned out pretty cute and Sunny has claimed him. Elle wants a green one, so I'll get right on that!

I like the rainbow one as much as the pink one. Those pillow are great. perfect reusing job!
So cute! Definite points for repurposing. I love both teddies. Ella was looking over my shoulder and cried out "Mommy, will you make me one." Guess I'm off to make a hot pink teddy.
Very cute!
Great idea! Too bad I just gave away all of our blankets last week! I love the teddies, but I will not be making any....if I trip over one more child's toy I think I'll scream!!
Aw, I think the rainbow teddy is very cute. *grin* Maybe you should have another kiddo to love the rainbow teddy?
Great pillows. Poor little rainbow guy. I think he's adorable, just like the others.
I'd take you as an apprentice in a heart beat, but perhaps it should be the other way around. Your children are adorable. I hope you live close to their grandparents!!!
Do you have any Grafteful Dead fans in your life? They might like the rainbow teddy. I think they're both cute.
i love the pilloes and the rainbow guy!
Your comment is appreciated. I just read your previous post about your bad sewing habits. I have many of the same ones. Especially the one about shaving legs. No, actually, I'm obsessed with having my legs shaved!!! Weird I know, but I don't think I could sew all day if my legs weren't shaved.
I found a label maker (I don't remember the brand)that makes labels of several types and one is supposed to be for clothing. I actually found it at Walmart, but I didn't buy it because they didn't have the type of label tape for clothing. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find that tape. Of course I can probably order it online. I'm going to look at Hobby Lobby and a few other places, though. In the meantime, I just bought some double sided adhesive. I'll just make my own labels.
Thanks for your comments.
