Stitch Peanuts Pillows for Halloween

Pictured above, a white doll rocker for American Girl dolls, ceramic pumpkins,
  a snuggly doll afghan and Peanuts themed pillows stitched from a pair of
Halloween novelty socks.

       These Halloween pillows are made from one sock. Snoopy in the pumpkin patch and text that reads "Happy Halloween" make adorable holiday decorations for any dollhouse.

       Use Fray Check to keep the edges from unraveling while you work. I cut out the parts of my sock that I wanted for each pillow, both the back and front, from a novelty, print sock. 

       Face the right sides of your fabric together, sew a straight stitch around the pillow, leaving a one inch gap for turning the pillow inside-out. Then stuff the pillow with cotton batting and stitch the hole closed.

       I used a blanket stitch around the pillows to add strength to my seams and added a decorative button to the center of the larger pillow on both sides.

High and Low

A fat golden pumpkin lay in the field,

A golden moon rode in the sky,

The pumpkin shouted, "Hallo there, brother!

Who put you up so high?"

The man in the moon smiled a jolly smile

At the pumpkin far below--

"I'll light the sky while you light the earth,

On Hallowe'en, you know."

So the fat golden pumpkin smiled at the moon,

And the moon smiled back at him

All through the night till the morning came

And the twinkling stars grew dim.

And each felt content with the task he had 

And called it a work of love.

Though one lay low on the cold black earth

And one rode high above.
