Instructions:

1. Make a ½" hem around three sides of the white canvas. Make a ¾" hem on the remaining side. Iron the canvas flat.
2. Stamp the word "dream" diagonally across the pocket piece by coloring directly on the foam with violet FabricMate brush or chisel tip marker.
3. Color the chunky flower stamp with FabricMate colors starting from the center of the design with violet and move out with red, then orange. Outline the flower edges in alizarin crimson then color the leaves green. Lightly spritz the stamp until it looks a little shiny but not dripping wet. Place the stamp colored side down on the front of the pocket piece and press firmly, slightly rocking the stamp to make sure the fabric is saturated. Lift off carefully and you will have a soft watercolor impression of the flower.
4. Let the design dry and detail the flower with more color and soften the color by going over with the colorless blender pen.. Repeat stamping and coloring on the white canvas until you have reached the desired effect. The fabric markers do not need heat setting.
5. Sew the completed pocket piece onto the front of one denim square with thread and needle along the outside of the pocket edge.
6. Put the wrong sides of the denim pieces together and sew 1" from the edge all the way around the pillow leaving a six inch opening. Sew another line ¼" from the first to reinforce the edge.
7. Stuff the pillow with polyester filler or use a 12" pillow form.
8. Sew the opening closed and reinforce the corners with extra stitches.
9. Create a fringe by pulling the loose threads from the pillow to about ¼" away from the stitched edge.
10. Insert a journal and a pen in the pillow pocket. The pillow is completely washable after twenty-four hours.
