Hand-made pillow designs?...?

I want to make hand-made (or sewing-machine made) pillows for Christmas and birthday presents for my friends and family. I'm only 13, so please try to make the designs easy.

Also, any other fun, sewing-maching or hand-sewing things that you could think of for me to try would be great, too. Thank you so much!!!

Update:

I already make pillows out of old T-shirts and bandanas sewn together.

    I have a transfer design book that I bought years ago, put our by Glick Publishing. It's chock full of cute and fun designs. Cool thing is you could actually transfer the pattern to the fabric you're going to use. Try looking at craft stores for design books. Barnes and Noble also carries a tone of design books, at reasonable prices.

    Most of these design books are themed. I happen to have about 9 with Celtic or Nordic patterns, some with fairies, some with dragons, some with flowers.

    Maybe your mom could let you browse this section of a book store. I sat for over an hour each trip trying to decide which book I wanted!

    Well, I just get two pieces of felt from Hobby Lobby and then Sew then together but I leave some space between the two pieces to fill in the fluff and then sew it up. The store also has other crafty stuff to do with sewing I think.
