If you're in the mood for Christmas sewing but time is limited (seriously, why is Christmas always at the busiest time of the year?) try making a festive pillow! I've put together a fun list of Christmas Pillow Tutorials and patterns! There are so many adorable projects and ideas that can be finished quickly - making cozy Christmas decor for your home or a perfect gift for a friend or relative.
There's also a variety of skill levels represented - everything from easy and beginner-friendly, to more complex patchwork designs. A lot of these projects are also perfect for using some of your favorite red or green or Christmas fabric scraps!

I also love the "burrito" pillow case method. I made a bunch of these a few years ago for nieces and nephews. Tutorials available here:
There's a really clear tutorial hereas well as another versionHERE from the Seasoned Homemaker. This method is so slick and gives the cuff a nice, clean finish.
If you're using fabric with a directional print, then I recommend this version of the Burrito Pillowcase method for directional fabric.
