Gum Drop Pillow

From the first moment I saw this pattern, I knew I wanted to try it... The gum drop pillows designed by Amy Butler remind me of the Moroccan poufs I have always been so fond of, ever since we lived in Rabat. I finally bought the pattern, and started cutting fabric last night. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought and I had a pillow in less than 3 hours!








I'm already gathering fabrics for my next one! Can't wait to get started...!!
