project: tiffany's travel pillow

I came across this fabric at The Needle Shop a few weeks ago, and the first person I thought of was my good friend Tiffany. She participates in various moped groups around Seattle and Portland, and I NEEDED to make something out of this for her.

What better thing to make than a moped travel pillow??

Side 1

The fabric is a Kokka cotton/linen blend, and the pillow is a 16 x 16 inch square. I cut the fabric about 15 3/4" to start. I also tapered in the corners about 1/2", so the pillow corners could actually fill out the case.

Side 2

I'm a huge fan of this colorway as well. The royal purple, orange polka dots and lime green stripes on a beige background is just working for me. It's bring, but not too bright. Perfect for all those summer travels!

The pillow is being mailed off today, and I can't wait till she starts a blog about all of her travels with this pillow (nudge, nudge).
