Make this DIY the catch of your day! Download your free pattern and reel in a fun fish pillow.

What You Need:

• Free Pattern
• Striped Fabric
• Lining Fabric
• Buttons, for the eyes

What You Do:

1. Cut out your pattern
   Download the free pattern PDF, tape the pages together at the page edge, and cut out the pattern. Cut your pattern pieces out of your desired fabric.
2. Sew the body pieces
   Take one head piece, one body piece and one tail piece. Align them at the seams, right sides together. Sew them together to create a full body piece. Repeat for the other side.
3. Sew the fins together
   Place each pair of fin pieces right sides together, and sew around the edges leaving the straight edge open.  Trim the corners, turn the pieces right side out, and iron. Repeat for all fins.
4. Attach the fins
   Lay one body piece right side up. Position the fins according to the markings on the pattern, with the raw edges aligned to the edge of the body. Sew the fins on.
5. Sew the body together
   Lay the second body piece right side down, sandwiching the fins inside. Pin around the edges, and sew all the way around leaving a 2-3 inch gap for turning and stuffing.
6. Turn and stuff
   Turn the pillow right side out through the opening. Gently push out the edges and corners. Then stuff with polyester fill until at your desired squishiness.
7. Close the opening
   Fold in the raw edges at the opening, and carefully hand sew it closed using an invisible stitch.
8. Add the eyes
   Sew on the button eyes. Alternately, eyes can be felt circles glued on, or you can embroider eyes!

NOTE: The printed pattern needs to be taped together aligned at the edge of the paper for the pattern to match up.
