INSTRUCTIONS
Make a 22 inch square newspaper pattern
for 14 inch pillow form See note below for larger pillow forms.
Fold fleece in half with the right
sides out. Pin the pattern down at the edges and above the
4 inch mark too, to keep pattern from shifting to much while
you cut away the corners and stripes. Cut as shown. Cut away
each corner. Keep the two squares right side out and together
at all times. Cut 1 inch strips around each side.
Remove the pattern. Keeping the squares together tie each
opposite strip of the pillow together with a square knot.
Move around the three sides, insert the pillow form, and tie
remaining side.
If you stuff the pillow with fiber
fill tie half of the 4th side then stuff as desired and tie
the rest.
Polar fleece comes in many colors for
both boys and girls. Sometimes an inexpensive way to buy polar
fleece is to buy fleece blankets. Some are as low as $ 5.00.
Flannel works well too, and has a more ragged look.
This is a super fun project for sleep
over parties.
Note
(Add 8 inches to the size of pillow form purchased. 22 inch
square pattern for a 14 inch pillow form. 24 inch square pattern
for a 16 inch pillow, and a 26 inch square pattern for an
18 inch pillow.)
