For the rest of this week, I’m going to focus my blog posts on helping you create this adorable Instagram pillow. I made this for an adult cousin of mine, who loves to use Instagram. She really liked it!

If you are wondering what to buy a young adult or teenager for Christmas, why buy? You can DIY!

This week I’ll post my free patterns and tutorial for making this pillow. If I remember right, I was able to sew the entire thing on a Saturday afternoon. It’s that easy!

If you’re wondering why I make patterns and videos without charging a fee, please visit the “Chelly’s Books” page, and that should explain my general motivations.

In case you haven’t heard, I have also designed commercial patterns for Lammily LLC. They have some new dolls in their line, including a new male doll, so you might want to visit the Lammily website to see what they’ve got going on.

I’ve also got a series of tutorials for the beginning sewists on my YouTube channel. It includes video tutorials showing you how to do a basic straight stitch when sewing by hand, how to gather fabric, how to use the whipstitch to hem a garment, how to sew on snaps, and even how to design your own doll clothes patterns, just like I do!
