1:

Gather the following materials: Youth small T-shirt, 2 Pieces of 24" x 24" broadcloth (light color), 1 Bag Poly Fiber Fill, 1 Piece of Velcro 18" long, Embroidery Thread: For design & to match T-shirt and broadcloth, Scissors, Fabric Marker, Embroidery Machine, Sewing Machine, Pillow Kids Embroidery File (Boo Boo Boy CD100609TA, Happy Girl CD100609TF).

 2:

Embroider the Pillow Kid design on the t-shirt as shown in the picture.

 3:

Pin and sew both sleeves and collar shut with a 1/4" seam.

 4:

In this step you will add Velcro to the bottom hem of the t-shirt. That way you can easily add and remove the pillow. The Velcro has 2 sides; a hook side that hooks into the ruff side of the Velcro.

• Turn the t-shirt inside out.
• Pin the hook side of the Velcro (face up) to bottom hem on one side of the shirt.
• Pin the ruff side (face up) of the Velcro to the bottom hem of the other side of the t-shirt.
• Then sew each side of the Velcro onto the shirt separately by sewing along all edges of Velcro as close to the edge as possible.

 5:

Steps 5 through 10 will show you how to put the broadcloth pillow together. Lay both pieces of the broadcloth, on your work table, right sides together. Place t-shirt on top of the broadcloth pieces.

 6:

Trace along the outside of the t-shirt with a fabric marker.

 7:

Remove t-shirt and cut along the marked lines.

 8:

Pin both pieces of fabric together and make sure to keep right sides of fabric together.

 9:

Sew a 1/4" seam around fabric, leaving a 4" opening at the bottom of your t-shirt pillow case.

 10:

Turn the pillow case right side out. Stuff with fiber filling. Then hand stitch the opening closed.

 11:

Place pillow inside of t-shirt. Close the Velcro at the bottom of the shirt. Now your Pillow Buddy is ready for your little one to nap on.
