Pocket Pillow



I had this extra fabric from a bag i made a while back and wasn't really sure what to do with it. I came up with this little pillow:

Just some filling and a bit of fabric is all you need.

Cut two strip of fabric. I used 21x11 and 5x5 but whatever works for you.

First I sewed the pocket on by ironing the sides in about 1/2 an inch and pinning them

Sew one corner together without attaching to the pillow so you have a pretty little stitch. Than center the pocket so it at the top half of the fabric in the center and sew along the edges (I know such hard work!). Of course my machine decided that everything possible to go wrong was going to happen. Go figure! Can't have a simple project no :P

With that take your fabric face your two outside edges together to face each other so it will be turned inside out and sew all along the edges leaving a few inches towards the end so you can turn it outside in. Now guess what? You turn it outside in.

And fill the insides with your filling and sew that last remaining of fabric together.

And you've got a pillow!
