Miss Lottie’s new-ish house isn’t nearly as soft and comfy as her old strawberry was 🙁 So I set about making it a bit more awesome by making a little mattress she could sleep on in the bottom. I’ve tried putting blankets and regular pillows in but she just shoves them to the back >_<
Anyway the end result was really cute!
For this tutorial you will need:
![]() Measure out enough fabric for the pillow and cut two pieces.
![]() Now put the fabric with the good sides together and then place a piece of lace between them along where the seam will be
![]() Stitch along that line making sure you’re going through the edge of the lace as well.
![]() When you open it back out the lace should poke out like this:
![]() Continue all the way around the edge leaving a little gap at the end.
![]() Poke your fingers inside the gap…
![]() And turn the whole thing inside out.
![]() ![]() Fill the pillow with stuffing.
![]() And then close up the hole.
![]() Now stitch diagonally through the pillow:
![]() And then diagonally the other way so it forms diamonds.
![]() ![]() And that’s it, all done!
![]() ![]() So cute! And a perfect fit for her new house.
![]() Of course, that doesn’t stop her from sleeping everywhere else… like on my plate -_-‘
![]() Oh Lottie.
