Little Red Wagon Felt Pillow and Cushion

DQ-KBP-Aug-9-Photo-1-web

This week has been a special Birthday week, my two youngest grandlittle girls celebrated their first birthdays! Both enjoy walks and the outdoors so a little red wagon, a classic piece of childhood was delivered to little Ivy.

Being constructed of wood the wagon is very sturdy but not too comfy. So a pillow and cushion were needed plus the addition of die cut flower appliques perfect for a sweet little girl!

This pattern can be adapted to any size of wagon or even as a playmat by changing the measurements. Wagon size 16″ by 34″.

You will need:

  • 1 yard Kunin Premium Eco-fiPlus™: Red (Cushion)
  • 12” x 18” craft cuts Kunin Premium Eco-fiPlus™: 2 Red (Pillow) 1 White
  • 1″ x 18″ 36″ Upholstery Foam Sheet
  • 8 oz Polyester Stuffing
  • Beacon Fabri-tac Adhesive

The felt is weather and mildew proof and will not fade so it will be enjoyed as long as the wagon is. As you can see baby Ivy is very happy with her wagon!
