Amanda, The Patchsmith, has chosen a pajama pillow or pouch , as March's project for our sew along group! She has cleverly created her own curvaceous pouch to keep her "pyjamas" so stylishly upon her bed.

I think it looks like a luscious little stuffed scrappy quilt !
I looked around online for some patterns and ideas. Most of the patterns that I found were made for children.

I didn't ask my husband, but figured he would probably not prefer to see any variations of the above , sitting out on our bed every day! (He's not a "pom-pom" kind of guy!)
So after I selected the fabrics I wanted to use, the idea came to me to make a few adaptations to a pattern that I have been using. My very own Simply Striped Accent Pillow ....
 |
| The pattern- Simply Striped Accent Pillow - a 13 inch square pillow pattern on Craftsy |
Here is my variation of a simple Pajama Pillow... made in Susie's Sunroom Style-

| Stuffed with my pajamas... an adapted Simply Striped Accent Pillow |
 |
| There's a muslin pillow form inside to give it shape when there are no pj's inside of the pillow |
The adaptations to make it into a pajama pillow:
- I Increased the pillow size to 16 inches x 16 inches ( the 16 inch square measurements are a free bonus included in my pattern!)
- Made a simple muslin pouch for holding some fiberfill inside (can adjust amount of fiberfill as desired)
- Added velcro to the opening at the back (envelope style back)
 |
| Velcro was added for closing the pillow |
 |
 |
| I like the back side of my pajama pillow, too! The accent band is made of scraps left from the front |
 |
| I added a few simple lines of quilting at 2 1/2 inches apart |
This pillow could be made into a cute child's pajama pillow-
- Make the pillow in the 13 inch square size
- Use children's fabric or coordinate with the room
