Superman Pillow

This year I racked and racked my brain trying to figure out 

what to make for my younger brother for Christmas.

After much browsing on Pinterest and through my craft books,

I still didn't have any idea.

I knew that he liked Superman, Cowboys, Tarheels, and frogs.

I couldn't think of anything to do with Cowboys or Tarheels

and I had already made him several frog items.

Finally, between brainstorming with my boyfriend and Mom,

we came up with the idea of a Superman pillow!

Well, I am new to using my sewing machine and don't have a lot of material.

I have quite a bit of felt so I decided to make his pillow out of felt.

And so the process began..

I cut out the diamond shape on yellow then on red.

I hand drew the Superman emblem with maker onto the felt.

I then cut out the emblem out.

I hand used black permanent marker to go around the edges of the logo and add depth.

I used black embroidery hread to hand sew the logo.

I used yellow to hand sew the logo onto the blue of the pillow.

I then used my sewing machine to sew the pillow together and then stuffed!

I love the way it turned out!!
