To sew a pillow you need very little:
- - Pattern in the form of a cloud of the required size;
- - A piece of fabric of any type and color;
- - Filler (cotton wool, padding polyester, holofiber, spunbond);
- - Threads of a suitable color;
- - Needle;
- - A set of safety pins for fixing the material;
- - Fabric chalk or marker;
- - Scissors.
The small size of the pad makes it possible to sew it quickly and easily without using a sewing machine.
As a filler, you can use any of the materials listed above that are most accessible to you. Even many small shreds will do. I had a large piece of spunbond laying around, I used it, cutting it into strips.As for patterns, it is better to print a picture of a cloud on two sheets, cutting it in half in a text editor (each half of the picture on a separate sheet).
So, let's start sewing the Cloud pillow.
1. Cut out all parts of the pattern, lay them out on the wrong side of the fabric and trace them. Attention! The fabric should be folded in such a way that the lower border of the cloud coincides with the fold line of the fabric: this will require much less stitching.
2. Secure the top and bottom layers of fabric with safety pins so that they do not come off and you can cut out two layers at the same time. Cut out a cloud shape.
3. Sew both layers from the wrong side, retreating slightly from the outline, leaving a little unstitched space on the edge for filling.
4. Remove the pins and turn the figure inside out.
5. Fill the pillow tightly with filler. Sew the opening for filling with a blind stitch.
The "Cloud" pillow is ready!
By the way, another idea for using a pad. I found it very convenient to place it under my stomach or hold it between my knees while sleeping during pregnancy.
