Playing with Rick Rack Doll Pillows

The other day I was playing with putting rick rack around some bean bags to jazz them up.  My test subjects became two doll pillows for my two "baby" girls - age 2 and 4.

Fronts - -

Backs - -

I was surprised how slick they came together.  First I sewed the rick rack onto edge of the right side of one of the fabrics.  Then I put the two fabrics right sides together and sewed on the seam line from sewing on the rick rack - leaving space to turn it.  After clipping the corners, turning, stuffing, and stitching, they were done.  I was worried about how to get the rickrack sewn in at just the place.  That method worked great! 

I made these the weeek before easter I think.  As I made the pillows, I thought that I should save them for easter.  I couldn't.  I just gave them to the girls.  They loved them for a few days.  I don't know where they are now.  I'm sure as soon as they find them, they won't be able to part with them - for a few more days!
