DIY Denim Pocket Pillow

"Denim makes for great pocket pillows. The pockets are already made, so these involve less sewing, pressing, and cutting than if you made your own pocket. Materials: Two pairs of jeans destined for the scrap pile. Designate one pair as “light” and one as “dark.” (Optional: The back pocket from a third pair of jeans in a slightly different color of denim.) Fiskars 45 mm Easy Change Ergo Control Rotary Cutter, Fiskars 18″ x 24″ Self-Healing Rotary Cutting Mat, and Fiskars 6″ x 24″ Acrylic Ruler. Cotton fabric for pillow back – ½ yard. Cotton fabric for pillow interior backing – ½ yard or fat quarter. This fabric will not be seen once your pillow is assembled, so you can use muslin, orphaned quilt blocks, or a pieced scraps instead. Fairfield Decorator’s Choice Luxury Pillow Form 16” x 16”. Fairfield Poly-Fil Low-Loft Quilt Batting. An iron and an ironing board or other heat-safe surface. Sewing machine with cotton thread. Basic sewing supplies (i.e., fabric scissors, seam ripper, pins, fabric pencil/marker, etc.). Optional: Denim needle for your sewing machine."
