It’s starting to get colder and we need to be prepared for the longest winter nights. And also Christmas is just around the corner and that is lots of time to snuggle up and watch Christmas movies.

So I finally got around making a new throw pillow for our couch!

A Star Pillow!

I inherited a cashmere sweater my dad couldn’t wear anymore – the mots had a feast. But I figured something can be done with it.

So I cut two rectangles 42 cm wide. One was longer than the other to sew a pillow with a hotel pillow cover closure.

And of course I needed a star. I went back to Stoff & Stil to finally get the faux leather I fell in love with a month ago and it turned out to be totally matchup to our couch.

So I cut the star and wanted to sew it with copper thread onto the cashmere cloth. That didn’t work to well – I guess due to the very different cloths and their strechyness. Any suggestions?!

I ended up using textile glue but I feel like something is missing. So I will hand stitch my copper thread over the holidays. And I will sew two more tiny pillows with the faux leather cuz I just love the color and texture on our couch.

Have you ever sewn pillow cases? Or do you do that all the time?! Show me!

EDIT: Oh my I almost forgot, that I have THE BEST COOKIE receipe for you today at my friends blog berlincreative. Head over because they taste especially good when snuggled into a star pillow.

Happy crafting y’all, Tobia

    Hallo Tobia,
    wirklich schön, dein virtueller Adventskalender. Ich schaue schon seit einigen Tagen immer wieder vorbei. Ich mag es insbesondere, wenns leuchtet aber ich finde deine kleinen, leicht nachzumachenden und sehr geschmackvollen Ideen wirklich toll! Auf unserer Festtafel werden auf jeden Fall Zitrusfrüchte mit Sternenmuster landen!
    Bei meinem realen Adventskalender war heute morgen Dein Tütchen dran und ich freue mich wirklich sehr über die Kette. Ich hatte kaum Zeit es mir selber mal umzuhängen als meine Kinder schon bettelten, dass sie auch so einen haben wollen. Zum Glück kann ich bei dir ja das Rezept für selbstgemachtes Porzellan finden :D Also: heute wird Glycerin eingekauft und am WE gebastelt.
    Danke, hier gab es schon viel Freude heute morgen!
    Guido

    Lieber Guido,
    vielen Dank für deinen lieben Kommentar und schön, dass du bzw. deine Kinder daran soviel gefallen finden.
    Ich wünsche euch viel viel Spaß beim Kaltporzellan machen. Es ist ein ganz eigenartiges Material da es sich gern auch mal wieder zusammenzieht aber es ist sooo schön.

    Und von eurer Festtafel musst du ein Foto schicken.
    Hab einen schönen Tag, Tobia

    Hallo Tobia, aha Kaltporzellan ist das also? Ich habe mich schon gefragt, woraus das wohl besteht. Vielen Dank für den hübschen Elch – ich darf den wohl selbst tragen, mein Sohn (knapp 10) findet Schmuck in allen Formen und Farben extrem uncool ;o)
    Lg Merle
