sew, mama, sew december giveaway day!

denim pocket men's shirt pillow

After much deliberation, and not much sewing over the weekend because of a sick little girl, I’m giving away one of my remote control pillow covers for Sew, Mama, Sew’s Giveaway Day.

remote control pillow

You get to pick whichever one you want. You can even pick the decorative pillow cover, even though it doesn’t have a pocket. That’s cool with me!

home decor pillow on a budget

Just know that whichever one you choose, I’m only giving away the cover, not the inside cushion. It will keep down shipping costs and allow me to ship internationally.

Here’s how you enter: Leave a comment on this post.
Bonus entry: Become a fan on my Facebook page. If you do, leave a second comment on this post.

You have until midnight, December 6th to enter. I will choose a winner with a random number generator. After you leave a comment, check out Sew, Mama, Sew for more fabulous giveaways!

Anything else? Oh, did you know I wrote a tutorial on how to make one of these pillows? Check it out!

    That pillow is such a great idea and they are all so nice I wouldn’t mind which one I won (although I think my secret favourite is the herringbone version!)
    I hope your little girl is feeling better :)

    I love that second pillow, in the green. I know it’s supposed to be a remote pillow, but it’d look great in my master bedroom. :-)
