PREEMIE TUBE PILLOWS

 

San Diego ASG has had a request from Rady Children's Hospital (here in San Diego) to make Preemie Tube Pillows in 3 sizes.

Following are the finished sizes they are requesting:

First Size: 15" x 5"

Second Size: 28" x 7"

Third Size: 36" x 10"

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.
