Sew what?

Long before I was pregnant, my friend Kimberly was getting rid of a few things from her last pregnancy (which was a few years ago.) She had a Boppy Pillow and I said I would take it, knowing that when I did have a baby, I would like to have one and free is good! However, it was a Paddington Bear pillow (see picture on left). So what did I decide to do about it? I decided to buy a trendy Boppy Pillow cover. Only after selecting my nursery bedding I found that they don't make Boppy Pillow covers in fun primary colors. They are all pastel and nothing I really liked. So what did I want to do about that? I wanted to sew one! I found a pattern online and some fabric at Hobby Lobby. I decided on a fun flannel for the top with primary colored alphabet letters and a bright red for the back. And today, I went to work. I opted for the zipper as the pattern suggested (I had considered snaps) and I must say I am quite happy with the results. The top right picture shows the pillow after I was done (from the top). I threw in additional pictures to show my nice handy work with the zipper ;o) and the red back of the pillow. This was the first zipper I have done! Like most things in life, this is far from perfect but I am very pleased with the results. I may even just make another.
