Gather Your Materials
Before you start making your quillow, you’ll need to gather all the necessary materials. This includes two pieces of fleece fabric (one for the blanket and one for the pillow), scissors, a ruler, and sewing supplies.
Prepare Your Fabric
Start by laying the two pieces of fleece fabric on top of each other, with the wrong sides facing out. Trim the edges so that they are even, and then cut a square out of one corner to create the pillow pocket.
Sew the Pillow Pocket
Next, fold the corner you cut out in half to create the pillow pocket. Sew along the sides to secure it in place. This will be where you can tuck the blanket into to turn it into a pillow.
Finish the Blanket
Once you have the pillow pocket sewn, you can finish the blanket by sewing around the edges. Leave a small opening so that you can turn the blanket right side out, and then sew the opening closed.
Summary
Creating your own cozy quillow is a fun and practical DIY project that combines the functionality of a blanket and a pillow. With just a few materials and some basic sewing skills, you can make a unique quillow for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
FAQs
Q: Can I use other types of fabric for my quillow?
