1
Lay out a large piece of tracing paper onto a flat surface. Draw a U-shaped figure approximately 10 inches tall and 15 inches wide. Cut this out; it's your sewing pattern.
-
2
Choose a fleece fabric print you enjoy. Fleece is best because it's easy to work with and soft. Place the pattern on top of the fabric and trace it twice with a fabric pencil so you have two U-shape figures. Cut out the designs.

3
Put the two pieces of fabric together, right side in so the wrong side of fabric faces outward. Use straight pins to pin in place.
-
4
Sew the edges on a sewing machine, leaving a quarter of an inch of fabric outside the seam. Leave a small section unsewn. Turn the fabric right side out.
-
5
Fill the pillow with cotton batting by inserting it through the unsewn hole. Hand stitch the opening closed with needle and thread.
