My boyfriend loves otters - so I knitted a pillow for him! I used the pillow pattern from Vampire Knits, and embroidered an otter picture. I used stuffing rather than a pillow form, so it is bumpy. If I make another pillow, I'll definitely use a form to make it smoother.
Turn old button down shirts into graphic throw pillows or play pillows for kids
This is a nifty trick to transfer embroidery patterns to felt or heavy fabrics.
