The Winner
About this design:
For this week's contest we asked each designer to create a cut & sew pattern for a slip to fit a warmable animal-themed pillow -- a pillow that can be filled with feed corn, flax seed or something similar and then warmed in a microwave to create a soft, snuggly friend for cold winter nights. The entries were almost too cute to vote. The winner, however, was a little dachshund named Sally created by Australian designer Laura Wright. Congratulations to Laura and the rest of the top ten!
Details
Between now and the deadline for this contest, we're going to publish a tutorial for creating a warmable pillow -- a small pillow filled with dried rice or corn that can be microwaved and used for snuggling. Using your favorite snuggly animal as a theme, create a cut & sew pattern for a removable cover for one of these pillows. The pattern should fit on a fat quarter of fabric (21" x 18") and include cut lines, seam allowances, etc., that will allow someone who orders the pattern to understand how to create the pillow cover. Deadline for entry is Tuesday, February 19, 2012.
