This pillow (and it’s mate) have been subjected to years of mistreatment by the boys. All the polyester stuffing was lumpy beyond repair. I kept them around because the boys played with them all the time. But, now that the family room has some new pillows, it was time for them to leave home.
Rather than throw them in the garbage, I thought that I would answer the pleas of a sick boy and make him a stuffed animal… out of one of the pillows! I cut the cover into body parts, sewed them together, and used the old polyester filling to stuff him. TA DA! Recycling at its best!
(Disclaimer: This picture is of the younger brother who was happy to steal away the new stuffed animal from his older brother.)

I love the look on your son’s face in the photo.
The stuffy is terrific! I have to say though that the fabric was definitely a keeper, so I’m happy to see you re-used it 🙂
