Have you ever gotten an itch to stitch but were afraid you wouldn’t have time to finish a project, so you didn’t start? This cute little pomegranate pillow is perfect for those times, because it doesn’t take long to sew. I originally designed it for a hands-on workshop to teach beginner-level applique and sewing techniques, so it’s simple and fast.

To make things even easier, I’ve put together a kit that includes the fabrics along with the pattern and instructions. You can now find it in the SewJewish Etsy shop.

You can sew this by hand or by sewing machine, and the instructions include both.
