I am hoping to make reading pillows for my grandchildren for Christmas. This one is extremely easy, even if not using photo fabric. It is so clever to hide the opening for the pillow in the pocket! No zippers or back openings. The only change I would make is to add a handle at the top for ease of carrying. I might also use a smaller pillow since my grandchildren are under the age of 3. Thanks you for a wonderful tutorial. It is causing my head to almost explode with all the possibilities!
I love book Pillows and I love the idea of having the turn inside the pocket! Genius! I would add a handle at the top so the child can carry the pillow easily!
Thank you for sharing this video. It is just adorable!! I have eight beautiful grandchildren and I will be making pillows for each of them!! Happy holidays🎄 Laurie
P. S. My grandson wanted a cover for his gigantic body pillow. I just used your pattern to make a gigantic reading pillow. I love it and hope he does, too. Today’s his 14th birthday and this is part of his gift. Thank you for inspiring me.
This is wonderful!! I’d already decided to make reading pillows for Christmas. This seems so much better than the way I was going to make. I’ll order immediately. Now, just have to choose the pictures. Thank you!!! P. S. I wanted the 283 count but EQ was out of stock. So, I found them on Amazon and just printed photos today. I am amazed at the quality of the prints. Now to choose the fabric and go to my machine. In case anyone is interested but wants in time for Christmas gifts, there are 2 left on Amazon.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I made a photo quilt for a friend about ten years ago. The backing was a bear to remove, very time consuming. This EQ photo paper looks like a much better product. Thank you to for such great INSPIRATION for my Christmas presents. Making them for the children in the family and the grandmothers. 🥰 Also, thank you for another quality video with all the necessary information. Kudos to you for clever photo shoots of children from the back busily engaged in reading. Also a great way to post the video without revealing their faces. Have a blessed Christmas. I know your family will!
Hi, Laura! Greetings from Pennsylvania. I wanted to see the back of your photo-to-border-pieced block? Did you leave qtr-in. raw edges, finish those edges, or put a backing or lining over that pieced block??? Please, I'm dying to know. Xoxox--TYSveryM for all you do to educate us so nicely!
Would it hurt to also do a soak in Retayne? Or is that totally unnecessary? I feel like it might give even more resistance to fading, when the quilt gets washed. Thoughts?
@@MargoDiPatri Yes, i missed that, too. Laura didn't show us whether she lined that photo or not, and how? I don't think it was just pieced onto the 4 strips, or was it? That would leave raw edges inside the pillow--or how would they have been finished?
Your hidden opening inside the pocket is a total “ah ha!” moment. Wonderful!!
Thank-you, love the closure.

Love the pillow! Did I miss how you attach the photo fabric to the front fabric?
It is printed on the fabric sheets with a printer
But how do you attach the printed photo fabric to the cushion cover?
You just need to sew on borders to get the pillow to the size you need
I've been wanting to do this and did not know how to do it . Thank you so much.
How how I love this idea! Thank you, Laura. I'll be making one of these. ❤️😊
Fantastic! Thank you for a great tutorial as you’ve explained it so well. Xx
The quilt behind you it’s just stunning 😍 I have a sublimation printer I haven’t tried it yet! Thank you for sharing this tutorial
You are an amazing lady, what a wonderful Xmas gift xx
Love this! What a great gift idea. Guess what I'll be making??

Love the white, black and lime green quilt behind you! Is there a pattern for that?
Yes ua-cam.com/video/pdsyXSfc60M/v-deo.html
Do you have a directions for doing Evan towels refrigerator towels I love to see something that you do could you
I love that quilt on the wall behind you!! Can you share the name of the pattern? Thank you!!

I thought the pillows are lovely but the quilt behind you is spectacular. Is it from a pattern or your design?

Thank you so much for your toteral, question can you please tell me what model of printer you're using
Would it hurt to also do a soak in Retayne? Or is that totally unnecessary? I feel like it might give even more resistance to fading, when the quilt gets washed. Thoughts?
Am I missing something? I did not see where or when you applied the EQ Printable Fabric Sheets to the pillow material.
Is there a video to show how you put borders onto the picture panel of this pillow ccover
Love this! So adorable and perfect for gift giving. Did I miss how the pictures are adhered to the fabric?
it is just printed on the fabric with a household printer
@@SewVeryEasy I’m sorry, I meant how the border was added to the fabric picture?
@@MargoDiPatri Yes, i missed that, too. Laura didn't show us whether she lined that photo or not, and how? I don't think it was just pieced onto the 4 strips, or was it? That would leave raw edges inside the pillow--or how would they have been finished?
Maybe they were serged onto the border fabric to finish the edges?
I wonder if that paper is available in the UK...?
Can I add piping to this pillow design?
yes :)
Why will a lazer printer not work?
I think it's because a laser uses toner but this needs the actual ink of an ink jet printer.
