placemat pillow

When my mom was visiting we went to Crate and Barrel and I bought one of these placemats just because I loved the colors and construction. I soon discovered how easy it would be to transform it into a pillow.

Rip the seam open a few inches between the front and backing. Cut two pieces of batting the size of the placemat and place inside, fill between the batting with polyfill, and blindstitch closed.
Tada!
