Knit remnant pillows

Remember the sweater knit remnants I got years ago? I had made Tabita's wool tunic out of some and gave mom a few in her colors. The rest stayed packed away in boxes in my son's bedroom closet. Recently though we added some new shelves into his closet and moved our 4y old's clothes in there as well, so the boxes had to go. Which means I pulled out the knits and decided to find some fresh ideas for them. Since these are pieces that were left in the factory after they cut out things, they are very oddly shaped and most pieces are not large enough for clothing pieces. The wool is also very thick and a bit scratchy for wearing.

I had some pillows that I had thrown the pillow case away, since I didn't like the colors. I decided to use the smallest pieces of the remnants and cut little squares out of them. And then made pillow cases (with zippers) for these pillows. I think they came out great and the children love them as well. Now, our camera is broken and so I can't take any pictures. I tried to use my Nokia phone camera and while the quality and color is very bad, at least I can show you something. When our camera (hopefully) gets fixed, I'll replace the photo with a better one.
