Materials You’ll Need

  • Fabric (preferably soft and hypoallergenic)
  • Thread
  • Pillow stuffing
  • A sewing machine or needle and thread
  • Pins
  • Scissors

Step 1: Preparing the Fabric

Start by washing and ironing your chosen fabric to ensure cleanliness and smoothness. Then, lay it on a clean surface and measure and cut two identical squares or rectangles, depending on the desired size of your crib pillow.

Step 2: Pinning and Sewing

Place the right sides of the fabric together, aligning the edges. Pin them together, leaving a small opening on one side to insert the pillow stuffing later. It’s recommended to use pins along the edges and in the center to secure everything in place. Next, using a sewing machine or needle and thread, sew along the pinned edges, removing the pins as you go. Remember to reinforce the stitches at the beginning and end to ensure durability.

Step 3: Turning Inside Out and Stuffing

Once you’ve sewn all the edges, carefully remove any excess fabric at the corners without cutting too close to the stitches. Then, turn the fabric inside out through the opening, gently pushing out the corners with a blunt object such as a knitting needle. Now, it’s time to stuff the pillow! Grab handfuls of pillow stuffing and insert them through the opening until the pillow reaches your desired level of firmness. Make sure to distribute the stuffing evenly for a comfortable result.

Step 4: Closing the Opening

After stuffing your crib pillow, it’s time to close the opening. Fold the raw edges of the fabric inwards and pin them together. Use a slip stitch to sew the opening closed, ensuring the stitches are neat and hidden within the fabric.

Congratulations, You’ve Made a Crib Pillow!
