Description
Why have a regular pillow when you could have a giant sardine? This beginner-friendly PDF sewing pattern lets you make a wonderfully silly fish pillow that’s guaranteed to get a laugh, whether it’s lounging on the sofa, guarding a kid’s bed or starring in your coastal decor. Every step is explained, from cutting to stuffing, so you can sew it with confidence.
Two sizes in one pattern
- Medium 60cm/24in: a fun accent pillow for sofas and beds
- Large 90cm/36in: almost body-pillow size, made for hugging
Three fin styles
- Plain: one fabric for a classic sardine look
- Striped: stripes for a bold, graphic fish
- Polka Dot: dots for extra playfulness
The included fabric cutting guide shows how to create each style, with no extra pattern pieces needed.
