    Heather, I love all of the sweater pillows too – yours is adorable!!! I would love to make one, but I don’t sew! Wonder if there is a way to do it with fabric tac or something similar? Julia

      Hmmm – I’m not sure Julia that fabric tac would work – but I’m not a great sewer either and if I can make this I’m sure you can too!! It’s just straight lines! You could even hand sew it together if you don’t have a machine! Good luck and thanks for your lovely comments!

    You are not alone, Heather, I have not made one yet either! However, yours may be the one to inspire me to tackle it! I love your simple, elegant take on the style! Forget good will, I have temperamental, fickle teens when it comes to fashion, I’m going to raid their closets today! 😉

    Adorable and I’m pinning this! I also haven’t done a sweater pillow either (hangs head in shame), but this has inspired me to check the closets for unworn and unloved sweaters.

    I love the addition of the buttons! What a great idea for closing the end without having to do invisible stitching. It looks beautiful, Heather.
