These free pillow patterns are a great way to spruce up a room!
Ever since I was a child, I have loved creative pillows in fun designs, shapes, and patterns. In fact, my poor husband has to stop me from buying pillows sometimes because I have so many. While it is true that I like to sleep with a lot of pillows, I equally like to decorate with a lot of them, too. I have pillows for every season and holiday. To me, a pillow is such an easy way to create a look in a room and add that finishing touch. If you love pillows like I do, then, this list is for you! Here are 10 free pillow patterns to get you started.

Christine, I’ve been trying to print the pattern for the seahorse pillow and it come out very small (not the actual pattern size). I downloaded the PDF file and it still won’t print right. I had already printed the owl pillow pattern with no problem so can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Thought maybe you could help with this. Thank you, Arlene
