I am interested in making felt pillows for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. I was thinking about 12'' x 12" with their initial (big) in the middle. Should I sew this project or does glue work just as well with felt? I haven't sewn for years but could get some help from my mother-in-law if needed. I'd appreciate any tips you all could offer. Thanks!

I would sew, but then I love to sew. It would be cute with a blanket stitch around the edge of the initial. You could glue them lightly to hold the letter in place and then do the stitching. I always figure things won't last as long with glue. depends I guess on how much "love" they will get. For my little darlings it would have to be sewn.
