I made this for the boyf a while back. It's deliciously fuzzy fleece, all handsewn. Originally I made one that was machine sewn but while I was embroidering the details (you will notice I did not attempt this on try #2) I got frustrated when my floss knotted up and somehow ended up with a hole in the pillow. Oops.
Anyway there's not a pillow in it in the photographs because it was being washed. This is what it looks like stuffed with clothes (a little lumpy). Dasani bottle for size reference.
