I made one when I was pregnant and found the pattern to be really easy too! I hated spending that much on poly fill and didn't stuff mine quite as full. 2 years later, I am thinking of going back in to put another bag or two in.
Oh, and that looks great! Did you make it for a living room? Mine was for the nursery, so I did the small one, but I have been thinking of making some for the LR.
Re: my current therapy: gumdrop pillow
That's pretty cool. I love the fabric combination. Is it supposed to be used as a pillow or more like a footrest?
