I LOVE ugly Christmas sweaters. I get a new one each year. But last year's sweater came from a big box store that isn't exactly known for the longevity of its clothing. 

So after wearing it once a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it couldn't take one more wash. So I am turning it into a holiday pillow so it can live on.

60 to 90 minutes
