Pillow Fight!

Since it's frowned upon to do construction work after 10:00 pm....really throws a wrench in my plans....I had to find something to do during my long, sleepless nights. Something fun, and just for me. And no, JB, housekeeping and laundry don't count!
I whipped out the old sewing machine, dusted off the cobwebs, and had my mom give me a quick tutorial on sewing. I'm not really a sewer, when I say my "old machine" it's not old from use by any means. I can count the amount of times I've used it one hand.
I can tie a mean knot, hence the many fleece, tied blankets and pillows I've made.
Okay back to the plan. Dog Pillows. Since these dogs chew anything in their paths, I decided to  take a more scientific approach to their pillows. Find the best material,  ( no, I can't figure a way to make them out of wood, believe me, I've thought that one through~) one that doesn't get ripped up in 2.5 seconds.

Aren't they sooooo cute, and comfy too! My mommy sewed the purple one

underneath all this blonde fur....lies the heart of a CHEWER!!!!

First attempt, the mountain of fleece in the hallway/craft closet. After carefully choosing the most dog friendly, heaviest pieces, along with coordinating colors to decorate the doggie den;....The fleece made it through the first night, so I decided to make a super huge one, reinforced the corners, double stitched, polyfilled.....

sole survivors!

4 hours of work down the drain.The big, luxurious fluffy red pllow didn't even make it through the night. Like a bull in a ring, Obie couldn't stand that bright, beautiful red. Looked like a fluffy blanket of snoww all over the yard.
So fleece is out. Buying five new pillows for these heathens is also out.
Will continue trying....
