This neck pillow makes it so much easier for you to rest your head on when you're up late at night with the kiddos.
What you'll need:
-8 inches of Velcro for sewing
-1/2 a yard of fabric (if you are following from the Glider update tutorial you can use fabric you'll have left over from your 5 yards)
-old pillow
Cut out two strips that are 2 inches wide and 16 inches long. Make sure the material is double sided. Turn the material face to face and sew a 1/4 inch seam along the left, top, and right edges leaving the bottom open. Turn inside out. Make sure you get the corners pointy again. You may need to get a pencil to push the corners out. Turn over the bottom edge, pin, and sew it closed. Cut your 8 inches of Velcro in half. Pull the two pieces apart. Sew one piece from each of them to one end on each strip of material.
To make the pillow part, lay out your material (make sure it's double sided) and cut a 12 inch wide and 7 inch tall piece of material. Lay the material down face to face and sew around three edges. Turn the pillow inside out. Take your two strips of material you just made and sew them to the pillow. Refer to the picture to see how far apart they are. Make sure your Velcro is in the right place (refer to the picture below).
Now you'll need to get your padding for the inside of the pillow. Get your old pillow out and cut a corner off that will fit inside your new pillow snugly. Place your padding inside your new pillow. Turn over the edge of material which is still unsewn, pin, and sew it closed.
Next you need to sew the other side of the 4 inch Velcro pieces to the back of your back cushion. If you're following from the Glider Update tutorial you will have left your bottom piece to this open. To sew this, you'll need to take out any existing cushions so you have room to sew.
Now put your cushions back in and fold the bottom piece up, pin, and sew it closed.
The Velcro attachment allows you to change where your pillow is placed. Much more comfortable.
And you're finished
