Neck Pillow

[@brendaromanuck1280]

Oh Lara: I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you making my 'dogbone' pillow. I was in a serious car accident many years ago that left me with a deformed spine and herniated disc disease in my neck area. I have tried so many pillows for sleeping but none eased the aching pain in my neck. I made one of these pillows about 30 years ago and have used one every night since. I make mine from flannel and use a knit fabric to make a stretchy pillowcase (with elastic in a casing on the ends) that comes off for washing. I have made many of these in different sizes and fabrics. Some of them go to the hospitals and for long term care homes for patients who have disabilities to take pressure off of rigid joints etc. Thanks for sharing the pattern for the "dogbone" pillow. I hope others will give them a try.

[@oldcatlady3803]

Wow! I have to make this after reading your post as I also had a serious car accident 30 years ago. Unfortunately as we get older these pains just get worse.

Christmas gift time! Give people this lovely pillow made from stash material or up cycle some older clothes along with a book; you provide the gift of escaping with comfort

[@lw7967]

Thank you! I have a similar pillow but always wanted to make one. Glad you designed one similar to that because I love it! A little tip for anyone buying a big box of stuffing. Only cut one flap in half to open. So you only have 1/4 of the top open to pull out the stuffing & you can still close the flap. If you open it all, it is like an auto inflatable raft & the stuffing could all poof out! 😀 This pillow will be great for gifts! Thanks again for all your hard work making videos & patterns for us! You are appreciated!

[@rubychurch3466]

Love your description of the auto inflatable raft!

My Grandma bought these bone pillows nearly 20 years ago at her local store. I still have hers. I’m glad I came across your channel because I wanted some guidance on how to make some for family and friends. It would also be a great project for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Thanks for the pattern!

[@joycewilson3787]

I love this. I have a flannel shirt that's seen better days and I think i'll upcycle it to this. Hey Yeah old sweat shirts and t shirts and receiving blankets. (Somebody stop me. )God bless you all and stay safe

How do I get to the “link in the description to get the pattern for this lovely pillow so I can download it and print it to make pattern?Thank you.

[@latrinamcdonald5338]

I totally agree

[@latrinamcdonald5338]

@@gailmeisel3302 there's an upside down "arrow" click it the links are typically found there in that drop box

[@gailmeisel3302]

@@latrinamcdonald5338 Dear Latrina, Thank you for your help. I am using an iPad and I don’t see drop box, but I went back to video and heard “Soiffer home”. Turns out it was “sew4home” and was able to go to that site andget the pattern. One more question. I don’t like the premium polyfill to stuff pillow. Do you know anything else that might be nicer stuffing mixture so it feels a little firmer and less squishy? Thanks again.

[@latrinamcdonald5338]

@@gailmeisel3302 you could always use the little beads, the ones for beanbag chairs

[@jdcogar180]

That is a great design. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@33sunstar]

How cute! I think I'll try to make one for my brother. He's always kinking his neck when he falls asleep in his chair. Thanks for sharing your ideas. You always explain them so well. God Bless.

[@lindasmith5407]

🪡 Thank you Laura, I also think it might be nice for anyone that needs to sleep on their back...and great for plane travel as well:) a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing your works of art...

[@MargeBurkellDotCom]

As a former designer for multiple Fairfield fashion shows I have to tell you this makes me feel old… 80 years? Oh my. But thanks for the pattern! I can see my grandchildren using it behind their heads as they play on their tablets or… Putting it on their chest or belly as they lay down and propping the tablet against it… Perhaps I need to make a couple! LOL!! I have saved your video so I can do that! Thanks again! 😘💋

[@oldcatlady3803]

Thank you for this. I have been struggling for 30 years to find something that works for my neck and now for my husbands. I have the perfect frabic. They will hopefully give us the comfort and relief you so desperately need. Thanks again!

[@melodysimonson1510]

Great design! It will make a great gift for Christmas.

[@pamketron]

Hi Laura - I like your dog bone design of this neck pillow. It looks perfect for support. It’s nice that it doesn’t come all the way down around your face like all the others I’ve seen. Will try drawing our your design since I don’t have my printer set up yet. Great idea and job! 💕

[@deeleach8300]

Wow, your scissors have nice sharp tips! I need those. I should have made this before I left on my road trip. These would make great gifts for Christmas.

[@theresaraddatz-melancon9334]

Great Christmas gift idea!!! Thank you so much!

[@beachboyde]

Miss Laura, you as always are just inspirational.... and I will make this for when I’m in my recliner watching TV.... LOVE IT... you’re always so amazing to watch, and I relax with your voice..... Hope your new sewing salon/room is doing you well.... Jon

[@maryg3143]

I love your projects! Thank you

[@luannapierce2544]

I love this. It is very nostalgic for me. My Mom used pillows just like that and I have also, we both called them dog-bone pillows, as well. My Mom had ALS, it was helpful to her in a lot of ways. I am so thankful to have the pattern and the explanation on how to make them so I can make them for my grandsons.

[@cfleyfel855]

Thanks a million for this free pattern!

Thank you for such clear instructions. I made one of these on my own with no video - it took me a very long time. I have put off making another one because of it, but now I feel confident to do so. Thanks again!

Hi Laura - Thanks so much for this video. I have made several of this type of pillow for myself, husband, family and friends from another tutorial and could never quite get the ribbon pulls in correctly. Your video makes it easier to understand. I use wider and longer ribbon pieces and use a pinking shears to trim the seams.

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Great design - very useful 🤩

This neck pillow looks so comfy to use Laura ! Love the choice of fabric, thanks for sharing.

Thank You so much for this tutorial. I made the pillow and it looks (dare I say) great. You are an excellent instructor and "sew very easy" to understand. I have made a vector image of your design for the pillow and I would love to give it to you so that you may post it. I'm not sure how to get ahold of you and I figured I would try this path. Thanks again. Just let me know if you want the image and I will send it to you.Have a blessed day!

yes I think they could be helpful. but be sure to check before you go and make a pile of them:)

I think it will need a pillow case of some sort, but I love it.

Great idea thank you . I wonder if there is a way to st..For a nuff it with something that could absorb heat in the microwave . For a nice heated neck pillow.

[@SewVeryEasy]

you could add a pocket inside

[@deltadawn72631]

I watched another tutorial and yours is easier to understand how to put the 3 bone shapes. I did this by only watching how you pinned it all together. I did not turn the sound on because some tutorials have excess talking. I and a Joe Friday type of girl, “ Just the facts ma’am”.

[@sandradawson5189]

Thank you so much. I am definitely going to give this a go.

I hope you read this. My brother is undergoing chemo presently and I can not be with him as we live in different states but I would love to make him a pillow or two; however, I am not able to get your pattern to show online. Would you be so kind as to tell me where I may find the pattern? Thank you. I do so enjoy your channel.

[@gailmeisel3302]

Interesting idea. I think I may try Organic cotton batting. That’s more the density I prefer than polyfill. Where do you get plastic beads? Amazon?

[@pikakerose]

how fun thanks for your video im going to try makes cute gifts
