Tooth fairy pillow

I have itched to produce more handmade items to sell in my Etsy shop.  I drafted a pattern and started stitching together an adorable kids’ tooth-fairy pillow.

As I started sewing the pockets onto the pillow, I thought, “These would be so cute with eyes!” so I began giving each one a set of eyes or closed eyelids!

Then I blanket stitch around the edges, leaving a small hole to stuff the pillow with polyfill. I thought it might be the best against dust and allergens.

As I was finishing them up, I had a great sense of accomplishment. I finished the first significant (more than 5) project of handmade items for Etsy in the past 4 years since we opened Sew Dayton.  I am constantly researching, taking online classes, trying new teaching techniques, making graphics for posts, reconciling the books, or updating the website, even on my weekends off. I am a bit of a workaholic in parts I excel in. I enjoy doing all of those items. I missed making things to sell.

So starting in April, I decided on my time off; I was off.  I needed to do this for my mental health, and it has been fantastic! I even finished a few top-secret projects last month that I can’t wait to tell you all about… ok, sorry for getting off track —back to the tooth fairy pillows! 

All the tooth fairy pillow cuties in a row, now listed on Etsy!

I hope they will enjoy and cherish their purchase by making something and seeing the smiles on people’s faces when they buy anything I have made. It’s all about memories and connections, and it’s so rewarding to make people smile and feel happy. That’s what I love! Confident, Creative, Energy!

Just remember to do your thing; don’t let anyone (even yourself) rain on your parade! Also, if you’re the only one marching, march on!! You got this!
