Pillows4Patients™

Making a mini-pillow is easy and fun. 

Please make sure that all materials are new, since we need to be sure that the pillows are germ-free.  Materials may not include any type of latex.

     Materials

• Fabric (cotton or fleece)
• Polyester Fill
• Thread
• Sewing Needle
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Gallon size plastic bag (with press and seal top)

     Directions

• Pick an appropriate design thats bright & fun 
• Cut material to 22" x 9"
• Fold in half, making sure that design is on the inside
• Begin sewing at a corner closest to the side already sealed
• Continue stitching around the three remaining sides, be sure to stop and leave an opening for the stuffing (about 3 inches).
• Flip material inside out so that the design is now showing
• Carefully stuff your pillow until it is soft making sure that fill is also tucked into the corners
• Sew the remaining area closed and tie off your string.  Clip any remaining threads.
• Inspect your pillow carefully to make sure all pins and/or needles have been removed.
• Place your pillow in a plastic bag and seal.  This will keep it clean until we deliver it to the hospital.

That's it.  Your done! 

Once your pillow is complete, please place in a box and mail to us.  Our mailing information may be found on the "Contact Us" page.  If you would like your name listed on our website, please include a brief note letting us know.  If you are under age 18, please indicate your name as it should appear and include the signature of a parent or guardian giving us permission.
