Pocket Pillow

Amory G.

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 1

Supplies:

• fabric
• contrasting fabric
• stuffing or pillow form
• thread
• needle
• scissors
• pins
• sewing machine

Steps:

1. Cut out the main fabric (double thickness) an inch and a half larger than the pillow form or the desired size. Cut out contrasting fabric (double thickness on fold) half the size; that will form a pocket. Iron the fold.

 
2. Lay pocket with folded edge in middle of main fabric right sides together with bottom edges and sides lined up with the main fabric bottom edges and sides.

 
3. Like a sandwich, pin the top, pocket (middle), and back right sides together.

4. Sew all three pieces with a 5/8 inch seam leaving an opening at the top (sew the two sides and bottom if using a pillow form or sew all the way around leaving a 3 or 4 inch opening at the top if using stuffing). Turn right side out and insert pillow form or stuffing.

 
5. Pin the opening shut and hand stitch.

 

 
6. This one is done! I made another using different colored fabrics.
