N64 Controller Pillow

Post by donnamevans »

Ok, so I went a little overboard with this but it’s totally mine!

I wanted to make a pillow for myself, as I’ve sold all of the other ones I’ve made I wanted to push the boundaries and make something gigantic!

The N64 was the first console that introduced me to the Zelda games, so it means a lot to me. I also loved its unique shape and the controller overall was one of the best I’ve ever played on (analog stick ftw)

This is my new gaming pillow, I’ll be using it whilst slouching around playing Animal Crossing :D

Made from:

-Antipil polar fleece in light and medium grey, yellow, green, red and blue
-Embroidered buttons and embroidered letters on the front, shoulder buttons and Z button on the reverse (still practising at circles!)
-Printed cotton logo, with applique edges


Thanks to papa for the photos!

I can't decide what I love more, the pillow or your dress! Both are awesome!

I love this! The N64 is still my favorite system lol. I'm unfamiliar with your other work, so could you tell me, did you hand embroider this?

Awesome. Just waiting for a Saturn pad, then I may keel over. :D

Also, your dress...is it made out of Sonic curtains? I ask because they look just like them!

It really is gigantic! I love all the details you put in there, the embroidery gives it that nice 'finished' look. And I definitely couldn't have made better circles than that :)
