Following are the finished sizes they are requesting:

First Size: 15" x 5"

Tube pillows should be made out of soft flannel or knit.
Add seam allowances of either 1/4" or 1/2".

  • These are filled with 8 oz of batting.
  • The batting is cut 1" smaller in width and twice the length and then folded in half lengthwise to be inserted in the tube.
  • Fold fabric right sides together, lay batting on top, stitch across one end where you have put a thread or cord to help turn tube and down long side.
  • Turn and stitch across open end.
