The flower pattern I got from a nurse's scrub that I picked up at Goodwill, the purple is from a bed sheet from another thrift store.

It's about... 13" by 13".

There's nothing really special about this one. But I made it out of a pair of shorts my Grandmother (in law) wore a lot in her final years, so it holds a special place in our hearts (:

Well, my original plan was to buy old stuffed animals that nobody wanted from thrift stores and use the stuffing out of those, but I never found any that had enough at a cheap price. Then I tried plastic bags, didn't work.

I eventually broke down and bought some Fiber-Fill from JoAnn's. I got a 3lb bag for $3.99. That's a pretty good buy, you can get the stuff at Walmart too.

Very cool! I love the fabric you used on the first one. I sewed about 30 pillows for Christmas presents last year... I don't think I'll sew another pillow ever again.
