DIY Reading Pillow Sewing Tutorial
Share
Reading is a great habit and crafting a Reading Pillow is fun and easy. Induce some Reading habits into the little one by crafting this fun and super easy Reading Pillow. You can always customize the writing on the pillow and use other names or decorative. Have fun experimenting with different ideas.
The fabric I have used for crafting the pillow is canvas and the patterns and fabric are by amazing Madiha of Madigitified Patterns.

Tip: Secure the rough edges of the pillow while sewing with a zigzag stitch to avoid any shredding of thread. Since the fabric is canvas, it shreds a lot so this step is highly highly recommended.
Final Dimensions of the pillowcase are 17.5″ x 17.5″ after sewing.
The other material that I have used for crafting the pillow are as follows:
- Outer Fabric: 18.5″ X 18.5″
- Pocket Fabric: 22″ X 18.5″
- Quilting Fabrics: 5″ X 5″ (x4) + 4 interfacing
- Zipper: 18.5″
