  Step 1

  Fold your fabric in half "sideways" so to speak, so that the pattern ends up the same way both back and front. Sketch a simple mountain shape with a pencil and cut it out.

• 

  Step 2

  This is how my cushion turned out-I wanted it to be quite high and sturdy, so you can really lean on it and use it for comfort when you read and write.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut a piece of natural cotton fabric, measuring 18cmx9cm. Iron in 1 cm all around the patch. Sew along the top part of one side to prepare the pocket.

• 

  Step 4

  Place the pocket on the left hand side of the cushion and pin in place. Sew around the three sides to attach it.

• 

  Step 5

  Find a wintery fabric that you like and add iron-on interfacing to the back. Use the template and cut out two or more reindeer heads.

• 

  Step 6

  Pin the reindeers to the cushion and attach them to the mountain with white sewing thread.

• 

  Step 7

  Switch to red thread and place a few white felt snowflakes on the mountain. Also add a few with blue thread, which will fit very well in the colour scheme.

• 

  Step 8

  This is how I designed my cushion-you can of course add, subtract and swap as you prefer yourself.

• 

  Step 9

  Place the mountain and it`s back face to face,pin together and sew all around it apart from a small gap at the very bottom. Turn the cushion right side out, push the mountain tops out carefully with the back of a paint brush and fill it with toy stuffing. Sew along the entire bottom line, to close the gap.

  Step 10

  So, we`re ready for an evening of reading and writing!

I love the fabric that you used for your pillow Kajsa
