I also made my great-niece - she was born on my birthday - a quick gift two years ago. She was taking ballet/dance lessons. I had a little piece of ballerina fabric and made her a little pillowcase for the travel size pillow. We were invited to her birthday party. So, stopped at WalMart and bought another travel pillow on the way to the party. The next year she was into "FROZEN", the movie, and I had a piece of FROZEN fabric so made her another pillow case and gave it to her, along with another gift, and before we left her house that night, she had gone into her bedroom and brought down her ballerina pillow and was changing it to the FROZEN pillow case. Her mother said she takes her little pillow with her in their car and takes naps with it! She just got a pony, so will be looking for pony fabric for her birthday this year!
