Pocket Full of Fun Pillow
Quilted pillow perfect for kids
Make a fun quilted pillow with a pocket to hold a treasured toy, book, or gift for any boy or girl. Whether you have just learned to sew or quilt, or you have a good repertoire of sewing skills, this quilted pillow is an ideal quilting project. Novice sewers will learn the basics of constructing a quilted pillow and the experienced quilter will enjoy adding a variation to their quilting skills.
With detailed instructions and photos, this Workshop teaches you the steps for constructing a quilted pillow cover with an envelope closure. You will also learn the simple steps for constructing a shirt pocket and/or a lined pocket. Who says pockets are just for garments? Add a pocket to a pillow and turn on a whole new level of fun!
As you work on making the pillow, I'll be available to answer any questions you may have. I'm a teacher at heart, and excited to instruct you and to help you. Throughout the Workshop you will find useful sewing tips and notes that will enhance your sewing skills for this project and for others to come.
This quilted pillow can be quite versatile. It can be made to hold a craft project, a journal, the TV remote, or whatever needs to be contained in a pocket - the sky's the limit! Join us in making this quick and fun pillow.

About the Designer:
Claudia Miller
Hi, I'm Claudia! I've always enjoyed making things but my kids were my inspiration for getting back to sewing again. The thrill of creating something and making it uniquely your own are what inspire me to create. My interests are varied, but mainly I focus on sewing, gardening, and cooking--the things that are most beneficial to my family life right now. After taking a few courses at a local trade school to refresh my sewing skills, I realized I could combine my elementary school teaching background with my love of sewing to become a sewing instructor. My hope is to inspire others to develop their sewing skills and foster a love of creating!
