Comfy back rest

When you’re done monkeying around, you’re bound to be tired. So sit back and relax on a comfy pillow back rest. I thought making something like this would be complicated, but it came together quickly, and this fabric was really nice to work with – it’s sturdy but soft to the touch.

Stuffing
I had 2 yards of the fabric. I used quite a lot of stuffing — almost two big bags. If you need help making your piping, we have a tutorial here.

The pattern

For this project, I used McCall’s pattern #2450, which has an assortment of pillows.
