Today I wanted to show you
a quick and easy way to make
a Pocket Pillow out of a pillowcase ~
The first thing to do is rip the front
from the back ~ I just snip a little
on the sides and top and
then rip the rest ~
Next figure out what size you
would like it to be lengthwise
and again snip and rip ~
Then fold up the amount you would
like to be your pocket ~
Then bring the rest of the
fabric over your pocket so that
right sides are together ~
Do whatever size you like ~
Cut the extra fabric off the bottom
~
Pin and sew leaving an opening
at the bottom for stuffing ~
Then turn right side out and iron
folding the bottom opening
so that you can stitch it closed ~
I love to add a little lavender
to the stuffing because...
I LOVE lavender :)
After stuffing hand sew
the bottom closed ~
The really fun part is embellishing!
I took an old doily and added
a rose to the top of it and then
glued it on using Fabri Tac ~
To make this a hanging pocket pillow
I cut a piece of ribbon and glued
it to each top corner ~ then I added
some ribbon bows ~
I did a tutorial on how to crinkle
the ribbon here ~
Then I added a vintage photo
and a piece of hymnal music ~
That is it... super easy and fun!
