Tooth Fairy Pillow Tutorial
1) Pin templates on fabric and cut out- 2 fleece and 2 cotton
2) Fold template down and draw line on the wrong side of one cotton piece
3) Cut on drawn line. Lay wrong sides together one fleece and the cottong body with the mouth slit. Slip the ric rac in between the layers and out the mouth slit. Stitch around the mouth. Move teeth when sewing the top of the mouth, you want to beable to open it for the pocket.
* you can play with the placement of the ric rac. You can show a couple of teeth, only one, or leave it totally out for no teeth. The cut edges will be hidden in between the layers.
4) Layer all 4 pieces together- right sides of the lining cotton will be facing each other. Right sides of the outside fleece with be facing out.
5) Pin layers and sew all the way around the tooth, leaving a 2 1/2″ opening on one side for stuffing
6) Stuff softly the tooth. Stuffing will go in between one outside fleece and the lining
7) Continue sewing to close the opening
8) Cut the sides with pinking shears
When the tooth fairy arrives, the money can easily be stuffed into the mouth.

This is a cute idea! Out of curiosity–why did you opt to trim the seam with pinking shears instead of turning the project right-side-out?

Just because it’s easy and quick. Very forgiving as well.

Just a lot quicker to stitch and be done. 🙂
