Last Minute Tooth Fairy Pillow

My oldest just lost his first tooth. It was wiggly for a few weeks, but I waited until the day it fell out to worry about what to put it in for the Tooth Fairy.

I have vivid memories of my Mother playing the Tooth Fairy when I was little. Of course at the time...I had no idea it was her. She would dress in a black leotard and put on a wig and sneak in to our room as the Tooth Fairy.
So I thought it would be very appropriate to use an old denim jacket I had that was my Mom's to make a tooth fairy pillow for the boys. I could have gone super fru fru with this if only I had girls. I decided to keep it simple (maybe add to it later when I am not pressed for time).
I took a piece of the demin I cut from my Mom's jacket (about 16 inches x 8 inches) and made it into a pillow. I am not in the least bit a sewer...so this was hand stitched.

I then cut out a tooth shape using my Silhoutte and Clean Cut Fabric Interfacing. Of course I had already sewn the last side almost completely shut when I decided to sew on the tooth (it was only ironed on) and had to unstitch it.

I then added a little pocket for the tooth using some of the fabric scraps I had. Then I spelled out TOOTH with an arrow using my imaginisce i-rock and some Glam Rocks - Pearl.
Love how it came out. And it is now holding a tiny tooth....for the Tooth Fairy.
