Crafternoon: House Pillow

Back in August my niece Meiya celebrated her birthday.  She’s one of several crafty nieces I have, but Meiya loves to sew.  I love to give good gifts and while on the hunt for just the right birthday present I found this Crafternoon House Pillow kit at Joanns by Amanda Rydell.

I knew immediately it was perfect!!!  Harper was with me while shopping and thought it was the greatest thing ever so I secretly snuck an extra in my buggy.  They were not on sale at the time so I cashed in on two Joanns coupons to make this an even sweeter gift.  Meiya loved hers and later I surprised Harper with her kit too.  We spent just a few hours one afternoon getting the pillow almost complete, but then had some where to be so we had to leave it as is.

Harper’s favorite part was hand sewing the button door knob.  Now I feel like I should get her hooked on cross stitching or something 🙂

This weekend we came back to the craft and Harper finished it up.  This is totally a craft a kiddo can do on their own with just a little bit of assistance.  Harper did all the sewing, cutting, gluing and stuffing.  She read through all the directions.  I helped with pinning and that was about it.

What I love about this craft is if we hadn’t had somewhere to be Harper could have totally finished it up in an afternoon…holding true to the name Crafternoon.  The directions were clear and not complicated. The lines were all simple for young sewers.  And the end result was freakin’ adorable.

She was crazy proud of her finished house pillow.  This project is tons of fun for those little sewers in your life.  I highly recommend this craft, so grab one and gift away. Those kiddos will be crazy excited.

Happy Tuesday!
