TUTORIAL REVIEW: Sprocket Pillow

I shared the link to this tutorial for the "Sprocket Pillow" from Cluck Cluck Sew a few days ago in my Pillow Love post....I couldn't get it out of my head, so I had to make one! 

I have to say, it came together much more quickly than I had anticipated.  You simply download the pattern piece (there are two pieces, one for the large pillow, and another for the small pillow).  I cut, sewed and stuffed this pillow in about 45 minutes.
I used a holiday layer cake and it worked perfectly.  I simply folded each square in half to get two of the pillow pieces.  I used a rotary cutter and cut 6 pieces at a time which sped the whole thing up.
I used white linen for the rest of the pillow.
This one (as much as I would like to keep it) is slated for a holiday craft show.
 So, I wanted to let you know that if you had any reservations on trying to make this - don't!  It was super simple, and it really is a "WOW" piece.
Oh, and while I was in the pillow-making mood, I whipped up another linen pillow.

 Happy Sewing!

  1. The sprocket pillow is cute, but I LOVE your linen pillow! I've seen a tutorial for a table runner with the non-parallel strips, and I am always just drawn to that motif. I think I just need to make something like it for my house.
