As I am on holidays, I decided to take some time to do something crafty. I came across this fox pillow tutorial on the blog A Beautiful Mess a while ago and really wanted to make one. I think they are so cute and love that you can customise them so easily with fabric choices. I chose to use a doily as the tummy detail, which was hand made by my grandmother.
I very rarely sew, so this was a fun project to refresh my memory a little. It also means that minimal skills are needed to make this pillow as it's super easy and quick. I am definitely going to try and sew more often. I always promise myself that I will learn properly but never do.
I love this pillow! I won't lie, it is a little lumpy and it isn't perfect, but I made it myself. I think it's the little quirks in handmade things that make them far more special than something bought. Who knows what animal I will attempt next!
