Tooth Fairy Pillows

It's the last week to finish up items on the Finish Along list and I'm in a mad dash to knock a few more off the list.  These are two tooth fairy pillows I made for my two boys, they are based on the tooth pillow that my mom made me when I was little.  I took her pattern and made my own funny faces and now they are all set.  My oldest has already lost a few teeth, but he wore out the first pillow I made him so he needed a new one.  My middle child is on the cusp of his first ones being loose so he will get his once he loses one.

The front is just white Kona quilting cotton with the eyes, mouth and tooth from scraps, sewn down with a satin stitch.  The back is a small wale corduroy I had scraps of and it worked perfect for these.  The pocket on the back is plenty big enough for dollar bills or coins and could hold all their baby teeth at once, but let's pray that doesn't happen.  I embroidered their names to the left of the pocket so they would know which one was theirs.  I blurred part of their names, so no you aren't crazy, it does look weird.

The first one I stuffed I used Polyfil that I had on hand and I used it all up on one (thank goodness I was so tired of storing that.)  Not wanting to buy more I used my cotton batting scraps to stuff the second one.  I tore up the batting and in essence made fiberfill.  It is definitely more dense and a little more lumpy but my kids don't care and recycling for the win.

This is my third finish this quarter and was number two on my second quarter list found HERE.  You still have time to finish up your projects and link up so get cracking!
