Method

1. Measure fabric to pillows and cut two squares of fabric to cover them.
2. Place the 2 pieces of fabric together right sides together. Sew closely around the edge in yellow or blue wool and leave one side open so pillow can slide in. Sew a large button on the opening side so it's easy to open and close.
3. Cut a square of denim approximately 22cm square.
4. Draw a picture of a cat's face on the denim. Following the design of the cat face, sew on some yellow buttons with red wool, see example.
5. Sew on two blue buttons on the denim, with the red wool, to make the cat's eyes.
6. With black wool sew on whiskers and cut out a nose and tongue from the pink felt. Sew them on the denim with red wool.
7. After you've finished the face sew the square onto the base fabric with cream coloured wool.
8. Then add 2 small paw prints for a boarder, made from pink and cream felt, sewn with black and red wool.
9. Put the pillow case over the pillow and fasten the button on the open side.
10. Repeat the steps using a dog face design to make a button pillow dog portrait.
