So, I was a little late getting these done!

I actually had the stitching done earlier, but got held up at the finishing stage. I finally decided to stuff them like little pillows, and fringe them around the edges. I used satin ribbon with picot edging for hangers.

Then I had to decide if I wanted to sew them by hand, or by machine. You might think that by machine would have been faster, but I just never got around to it! So instead I stitched them by hand while watching TV. I think they probably came out more neatly, because my lines were nice and straight — straighter than they would have been by machine.
