Fabric Requirements and Cutting Instructions

Dog Pillow – 5/8 yard Fleece

Two 21” x 24” pieces

Appliqué - scrap

Machine embroidery (optional)

Polyester Fiberfill or other stuffing

Getting Started

This pillow is easy to make and will be easy to clean when needed.

  1. Mark and trim corners of pillow using a 5” circle.

Adding the Appliqué

If adding machine embroidery, finish embroidery first then center bone pattern over lettering and finish. (Note: We used a Bernina® 730 and the Child's Play font to create out lettering.)

Finishing the Pillow

  1. With wrong sides together, layer pillow front and back together. Sew around all edges using a 3/4” seam, leaving a 5” opening for turning.
  2. Stuff pillow to desired fullness and sew opening closed.
