Josh is at the age where is starting to loose teeth. He lost his second tooth the other day. So that evening I stayed up to sew a tooth fairy pillow.
Why, you may ask? Well, I thought every kid had a tooth fairy pillow growing up. I really did! Then I learned that no everyone had them, but I didn't care. I had one and I wanted my kids to have one too. I did look around to buy one, but I quickly learned that they were not available so I brought out the sewing machine to make one for Eric. He loves it. Now it is Joshua's turn.

please ignore his dirty face!
He LOVES football. So I took some scrap sports fabric, brown felt (felt holds the teeth really well before the tooth fairy comes. less stress for everyone if it stays put!), batting, and a clip art football. I cut the felt into the football shape and added the "laces" to the top of the football. Then I sewed the bottom part of the football to one side of the fabric.
Then I put the two wrong sides together and sewed three sided together.
I turned it right side out.
Then added some batting.
Then I sewed the fourth side closed. I added a zig-zag stitch all the way around to make sure that it would not come undone. Plus, it looks good.
Viola, the finished project. Super easy and I have the worlds happiest kid.
