My son loves music! I decided to experiment making my own pillow (with the stuffing) and pillow case. I started by drawing a guitar with pencil on a cream stretchy yard of material I got on clearance. After drawing the guitar....I folded it in half lengthwise to make sides symmetrical. I have found with making things....use symmetry to your advantage! I then surged around the design leaving a space to turn right side out and fill guitar. I then cut around the already made pillow leaving enough leeway around the outer edge to fit like a pillow case. I ended up adding velcro to the bottom of the guitar so it would stay together. Wallah!!! A pillow and a smile on my boys face!
