Homemade Boppy Pillow
Okay, so for those of you who have looked at my registry, I did register for a boppy pillow but I also wanted to make one myself. I used material from an old cotton sheet we don't use anymore and can't help but wonder if store bought is better than homemade when it comes to this. Anywho, I figure if my pillow is just as good as store bought the registry one can always be returned and if my homemade one fails then I have a genuine boppy as well. Here goes nothing....
I printed out the pattern on the computer and had to tape the pattern together to make this. I got the pattern here |
Fold your fabric, or sheet, in half, place pattern along folded side and cut two of the pattern out. |
Pin the two pieces together with RIGHT sides facing each other. |
Sew around edges, leaving opening for stuffing, I left my opening right in the middle but you can do whatever you want. |
Turn right side out and press |
Stuff pillow to desired consistency |
Hand sew the opening shut :) |
All done! We'll see how it holds up to a new born :) |
