puppy pillow

I asked my niece a while ago what she wanted for her birthday this year as I make her something every year. the last two years I made her princess dresses, this year however she told me that she didn’t think she had any more room for a big fluffy dress, (she has a rather small closet) so she told me what she wanted this year was a pillow with a brown puppy, that has a black nose, the bottom of the pillow needed to be green, the top blue and she wanted a red heart on it somewhere too.
okay so, yeah very specific.


I then spent forever online trying to find a decent appliqué of a dog, and was coming up with nothing. I wanted something cute but simple. anything simple I was coming up with was not at all what I was looking for, half the patterns out there hardly said dog to me, let alone puppy. finally I came across a stuffed dog pattern that was really cute and thought I can use part of that to make my puppy!
the pillow I made. its 16”X16” and has a zipper in the back so the pillow form is removable. allowing the pillow to be washed. I was rather proud of the way it turned out. I think its really cute.
