Method 1:
Tools/materials: pre-washed cotton of 1/2 yards at the top, pre-washed cotton of 1/2 yards at the bottom, patterns (downloadable or DIY), sharp scissors, pins, polyester fillers, hand needles and threads.
Steps:
1. You can download the mode of your choice or create your own mode. If you choose your own paper, please use a large piece of paper or cardboard and cross out 1 inch as a reference. Draw a12 pillow, about 812 inches wide and 15 inches high, and cut it out.
2. Place the plane of the pattern on the crease of the cloth and fix it in a proper position. Cut a piece of cloth at the top of the pillow and a piece of cloth at the bottom of the pillow.
3. Open each building block and put its right side together. Fix it in place and sew a 3/8 inch seam around the pillow. Leave a 3-inch opening on the side.
4. Be especially careful when cutting seams, and don't cut seams.
5. Turn the right side of the pillow out through the opening.
6. Iron the seams.
7. Fill the pillow through a 3-inch opening.
8. When the pillow is filled to the required hardness, please sew the closed opening manually with needle and thread.
Method 2:
Tools/materials:
According to the size of adult handmade pillows (29x32), we need to prepare three pieces of cotton cloth, the size is as follows:
-40x32cm (front)
-40x22cm (back 1)
-40× 13CM (back 2)
Also needed: zipper, ready-made U-shaped pillow, stuffing, scissors, needle and thread.
Steps:
1. Match the "back 1" and "back 2" of the cloth, and lock the edge inward by half a centimeter at the adjacent edge (40cm). Put the zippers on their adjacent edges, sew their adjacent edges on both sides of the zipper with needle and thread, and turn them over after sewing.
2. Align the front of the cotton cloth with the back 1 and the back 2, and put a U-shaped pillow in the middle as a control. Sew along the outside of the u-shaped pillow head with needle and thread.
3. Leave about 2-3 cm more cloth, cut off the extra cloth edge with scissors, and take out the control sample of the U-shaped pillow inside. Sew a small handle on the top of the pillow according to the need of use.
4. unzip the zipper and stuff the pillow core or cotton into the pillow. A practical u-shaped pillow head is ready. With it, you can have a better rest when you are tired.
