Kiddie Neck Pillows

If you googled Procrastination..I think you will see my picture! I have had the stuff to make the kids' neck pillows for 3 months. Of course I put it off until the night before our 12 hour road trip. Luckily..they were VERY easy to whip up, even for me!

I started to do a tutorial, but realized that I didn't have time. It is probably the easiest thing to sew. I let the boys each pick out a fleece material. I had them cut to 1/2 yard each, but had a bit left over! I drew a "U" shape on a piece of paper. I like to use paper from the kiddos easel.



I pinned the pattern piece to my fabric & cut it out. Make sure you leave some extra for your seam.



Once you have your two pieces...place right sides together. Sew around leaving a big enough opening to fill your pillow. Once sewn...turn right sides out. I filled the pillows with stuffing from an old pillow. I worked perfect & was FREEEE!!!

In no time..I had little neck pillows ready for the road trip ahead. Whip stitch your pillow opening closed & there you have it!

They LOVED their neck pillows & used them the whole ride!
