Gingercake’s Penguin Pillow review

***See the winner of the Shwin Designs pattern giveaway here!***

I made Charlotte a pretty flippin’ cute penguin pillow the other day…and I think it’s safe to say she’s in love….you’ll see. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I used this lovely pattern from my sponsor, Gingercake Patterns and Design.

ย 

The flannel I got from Joann’s-they had it on sale a few weeks back for $2 a yard-love that kind of a deal! Sadie called dibs when she saw me sewing it up, and when I told her it was for Charlotte she didn’t like that. Seeing as her bed is full of mommy-made softies, I think Miss C deserves one of her own! (Speaking of Sadie’s bed, I finally finished her quilt! pics to come soon!)

I think she agrees! She loved pointing out the penguin’s nose! (You can kinda see where her scar is going to be too…darn)

The pattern was very well written and a quick sew-I think I had it finished in less than 2 hours, start to finish. I love how the darts add shape to the head and cute little bottom, too!

ย HUG!

She was one happy girl! ๐Ÿ˜€

  4. Keep putting merderma on that scar. It will fade. (You have to do it 3 times a day for a good long while though, like 60 or 90 days?) She is still cute as a button though!

  5. Holy smokes, that is one ca-ute little gal. Can’t wait to see you guys next month!

    Ps. This is Joanna, in case you couldn’t tell by the “ca-ute”

  6. Hi, you have to honor the days of the craftsman here in Brazil! Go on! Congratulations!

  7. Such a cute little penguin and Charlotte. ๐Ÿ™‚ My daughter cut her head open really bad a year and a half ago. I just kept putting mederma on it twice a day and you can hardly even see the scar anymore. I was so worried about it. It’s quite big and right in between her eyes. Mederma works wonders!
