Back to our scheduled programming here, folks.

Here’s a finished project that I have been using for a while now. It’s an Amy Butler Gumdrop Pillow. Although pillow is not quite the word I would use. Try “large ottoman” and then we’ll be thinking along the same lines.

I cut out the fabric ages ago, but I struggled with fitting in all the pieces as per the instructions, which made me a bit cranky because it was Amy Butler fabric too, so how hard can it be? So I cut them out and then ignored them for a few months in a sulky mood. Like this:

Ultimately, it was so quick to sew together, and very easy. I love this fabric, and thought it would complement the red rumpus room nicely. Make sure you love your fabric if you make this. There is a lot of pillow to look at.

I used 2.5 kgs of Hobbyfill, but could really do with more. I will probably unpick it soon and add another kilo or so.

It’s a great, easy project that adds a practical item to your home. I use it every night to finally put my feet up and I wish I hadn’t been a sulky git for so long.
