Thursday Tutorial

Last week, we started our pajama pillow.  At this point, you should have appliquéd the face and hair to your liking.  Let's continue...

Step 5-  Applique the back hair onto the top back flap.

Step 6-  Make a pillow sandwich.  From top to bottom you should put:

• Head Front (good side facing inside)
• Outside Head Back (2 flaps aligned with Head Front(good side facing inside)
• Inside Pillow Back(good side facing out)

 

Step 7- Sew around complete circle.  I served, but you could zig0zag stitch to finish off seams.

Step 8- Turn pillow right side out.  If the sandwich was made correctly. you should have an inside pocket and the outside pocket.

Step 9- Stuff the inside pillow with polyfill.  Fill rather full, but not too full as you want to allow room for the pajamas in the pillow.

Step 10- Stitch the inside pocket closed by hand using a ladder stitch.

Step 11-  Flip outside Head Back to the outside.  This flap will be left open for the pajamas to be placed.

Step 12- You're done!  Now of course you can modify this pattern many ways.  One idea could be to add a zipper pocket or place a button to fasten the outside pocket closed.  I find however, that a simple flap works just as well…..
