You can find them at Joann or online at Wholesale Pillow Inserts. If you do choose to use loose stuffing, then be sure to pull big handfuls of the stuffing apart to get it fluffy before stuffing your pillow. I tend to only use loose stuffing when I make pillows that are odd sizes, like an animal shape or something, or really tiny pillows like my ring bearer pillow. Thanks for your comment! I love comments :) I started sewing about your age (there's a silly photo in the About section). Good for you. Have fun with it!

I'd love to see how your onesie turns out! Enjoy...

I did a sea type theme with a fish. I love the chalkboard fabric and all the neat projects that it can be used for. This is going to be a gift and I think the little boy will love it.
