Create your own turtle pillow with this versatile pattern! Choose from either a pieced top shell or a single fabric shell. Both look great! Make one with a great home decorating print, soft fleece, or those wonderful quilting fabrics you have stashed away!
Finished size measures approximately 16-17 inches across the shell, including ruffle, and 22-23 inches from top of head to tip of tail, the perfect size to add a bit of charm and comfort to a bed, couch or chair. Also wonderful in a child's room!
Original pattern includes list of materials needed & full sized pattern pieces. Some sewing experience is recommended, but lots of detailed instructions and step by step photos are included to make the pattern achievable for all sewing levels.
3/8 yard of FABRIC A (bottom shell, top of head and legs, tail)
3/4 yard of FABRIC B (center hexagon, underside of head and legs, ruffle) Note: This is for a pieced ruffle. You can also cut the ruffle in one piece (53 inches long), but this will require extra yardage.
