I’m a bit of a craft-supply hoarder. What crafter isn’t? And now that Ikea is carrying Marimekko-esq fabric at Ikea prices, I picked up a few bolts of various prints on my last visit and tucked them away in my fabric drawer (hoard hoard). On a recent trip to the Fabric District, I showed immense restraint by only making one (sushi-printed!) purchase. With my Ikea Vitaminer Rand, and my Robert Kaufman Co. Chopsticks Please I was ready to craft up a “Swedish Fish” pillow for a sushi-loving family in need of some extra comfort. 
I’m not great at sewing. Specifically, I hate ironing and lack the basic patience to complete projects that take more than a week, but pillows are fast and cute, and therefore a sewing project I accept with gusto. 
For this particular pillow, I used some piping for a little extra detail, and added a button accent on the front and back. 
I mailed it off yesterday and hope it brings a little cheer to a friend’s dad who could use some. Thinking of you guys!
Very cute!
You need your own show!! NOW! Your pillow is making me hungry. Piping?! That sounds complicated, but of course you can do it. Why? You’re radmegan!
Thanks Jess!!
Hahaha Thanks Sara, You need to eat!!
Thanks, Meg.
i am crazy in love with that fabric!
I can’t believe you did a sewing project without me! My fabric is still folded up in the corner of my floor…
I know Lucky Girl! Isn’t it so cute! I want to make a whole dress out of it!!
f*bomb, you know I love you! Sorry to sew w/o you near!
How can I purchase one of your sushi pillows? Are they for sale, and if so, for how much? Arigato! Lisa
