This is the easiest pillow I have EVER made! A friend of mine, Tracy, was showing me the fabric she was going to use to make some pillows for her living room. Well, I was inspired and while I was in Target today, I picked up my own material for a super cheap pillow.
It's perfect for my yellow, white and gray bedroom plan.
Items needed:
Placemat
fiber fill
needle
thread
When looking for a place mat, make sure it is two pieces of fabric top stitched together. I found mine at target for $3.99. Cheap pillow!
With your seam ripper, make a hole on one end of the place mat.
I had fiber fill on hand. It's the cheap stuff from Walmart.
Stuff your pillow and sew it closed. You can either hand sew or top stitch with your machine. I just hand sewed it because it wasn't a large hole. Done! See.... easiest pillow ever!

I just did a quick search on google and found this:
I didn't "copy" her, but great minds must think alike! :) The Place mat pillow is not new, but I thought it was so funny that we both used the same place mat.
I also found it by others as well:
and here.
So, not a "one of a kind" piece, but close enough. :)
