Vintage PDF sewing pattern to make three different kinds of fruit throw pillows that will add a little playfulness to any room or patio. Includes instructions for a pear, watermelon and orange slice (that could easily be converted to a lemon or lime simply by using a different colored fabric). These would be cute done in woven fabric as shown in the picture, or in wool felt.
** Please Note: Pattern pieces are printed on a grid and require enlargement. They are not already full size. The original instructions from the vintage pattern on how to enlarge pattern pieces by hand are included in the PDF. There are also other options now available in our modern age for enlarging with a copier machine, computer, or a copy shop such as Staples or Office Max, a good description of which can be found here:
