homemade body pillow using a re-purposed sheet


A couple of Saturdays ago, I spent a bunch of time looking for a body pillow on amazon.com, until I realized I could just make one... that and how expensive they are to purchase.

  1. I took an old sheet that we'll never use again
  2. folded in half, wrong side out
  3. using a fabric pen, I drew my pattern, assuming I would want it to be about 9" wide
  4. pinned it the whole way around
  5. sewed it leaving the corner open for stuffing
  6. turned it outside in
  7. stuffed it with polyfil
  8. & sewed it shut
It's awesome! And not just for pregnant women :) I don't know how I ever slept without one.
