I know it's been four years since you posted this, but I hope you are still reading the comments. I am a reading tutor for second grade students and I have made one of these for each of the three girls I've tutored for the last three years. It's a wonderful end-of-the-year gift for them and I always include a book with the pillow -- one that has a special meaning for each of them. Their eyes always light up when they see me pull this pillow out of my big bag. Thank you for making this easy to follow tutorial!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellent teaching style. I've just begun to sew after 30 years - (raised kids). I've made 6 of these pillows as gifts to my great nieces, nephews & 3rd cousins! My current pillow will be for my very own (and first) granddaughter!!! Thank you again. You're a true blessing. Sewing from Conyers, GA USA.
Could watch your sewing all day long......Stuart you are entertaining , clever , very helpful n make the project your doing easy to follow . Thankyou. From WA...Australia. ❤
The bit about inserting the pillow into the envelope back is brilliant. Thanks
Brilliant tutorial! I find some simple, beginner sewing videos to be quite condescending but you explained everything clearly with some brilliant tips! I'm going back to sewing after about 15 years so feel like I'm back at the beginning again. This is probably the best book pillow tutorial I've watched. Thank you!
Great project but the real gem was the tip on putting the cushion pad into the envelope cover. Genius! I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this. Thank you.
Thank you so much Stuart. Your voice is so calming and it may be the FIRST video I didn't fast forward through to the end. Your work is beautiful and you have thoroughly explained the directions. I can't wait to make mine~!!
You make it look so effortless and easy.Thanks for sharing ... as a novice with a sewing machine you've made me believe I could actually do that .... I am inspired... : )
What a fantastic tutorial, you did an awesome job explaining everything with such a gentle voice, thank you so very much!!! 💚
I absolutely adore this project! I made one for my 7 year old and 3 for my brothers children. You have the most tranquil voice, and your choice of words are delightful! I’m extremely new to sewing and not once did I become frustrated or felt that you had left me behind. Your speed was perfect and the dialogue you entered made it entertaining. So, in a nutshell, educational, relaxing, entertaining, and productive. I thank you for this opportunity! And the kids LOVE the pillows!
Couldn’t have said it better myself agreed.
Absolutely loved this video. You made me feel welcome and fully able to make the project. Great tips and love the little aside comments too :) Looking forward to more projects. Thank you.
I could listen to your voice all day! I feel like I just did yoga without having to roll out my mat! And what a lovely project!
Thank you for this lovely gift idea
Just wondering what size cushion insert will it fit? And if I have an IKEA 50x50 cushion/pillow using FQ’s will the pillow be too big
Thanks heaps
🤣 me too🧡
@ karen Martin 🤣 me too🧡
It’s so annoying not to have the cushion pad size made clear.
Two book cushion covers made in less than two days. Thank you for the inspiration. My grand-boys will love these for Christmas as a year long gift from their Nana. I divided the book pocket so it is large enough to hold a drink bottle or a box of pencils.
Fantastic. What a incredible teacher. Could watch and listen to him for hours.
Watched this and immediately went to the fabric shop and got what I needed to make a half dozen! Thank you so much!
I feel the same :)
Thank you so much Stuart, your instructions are fantastic and you are a delightful teacher, and now I have Christmas presents to make!😊
A book pillow is an excellent project! Your videos are very pleasant to watch and your instructions are very clear and concise! You have an ability to make the viewer feel confident that they can do your projects. Well done and please do continue.🤗🤗🤗👍🇨🇦
What! Flip the flap over? Be still my heart. Thank you for the tip. I love the pattern and I'm going to make it for all my grands for Christmas next year. I've got about 11 of them. ❤❤❤🤪
Thank you for your clear instructions. I am a great grandma and have been asked to make book pillows for great grandkids. Such fun and so glad I am still able to sew. Just need the encouragement from this video. "85" and still sewing.
Such a lovely tutorial , I’m going to make these to sell at my primary school to encourage the comfort of reading
I am a retired kindergarten teacher and I thought the same thing!
This a great gift for my granddaughter thank you from Switzerland
My sisters and I would have loved these as children. We were raised without television and read absolutely everywhere. I loved your comment about reading in a tree! ( plum or apple trees work really well!
This was my first sewing project. I made it for my daughter. You did such a wonderful tutorial and explained every detail so precisely. I am so pleased with how my pocket pillow turned out! Thank you so much!
Another fabulous video given in such a calming friendly manner that it makes me feel able to achieve this, thank you so much Stuart for taking the time to share this tutorial, can not wait to try this xxx
I could listen to you all day! Thank you my dear!
Your instructions are perfect. Many other sewers give instructions but yours are perfect!!!! Thank you!!!!
Oh Stuart what a wonderful tutorial you explain everything so we'll do you have more of these type of tutorials as I am not a quilter but am hoping to improve my sewing with smaller projects keep up the good work hugs kisses and blessings x x x
What an absolutely wonderful idea and project! I love it!!!
Lovely video and a great gift for any level of sewer.🇨🇦
Enjoyed the tutorial of the Book Pillow😊😍 I saved this video to my Favorites I have a pillow cushion to use for the project.😀Than you so much for sharing😍🤩
If you have a favorite tree yo sit under And your sewing projects, then you are such a lucky person. Thanks so much for that wonderful video. I've made three as of today & just about to start one for a friend's little son who likes to read. Thank you Stuart.
Wonderful idea and a superb video..my 6 grand children are getting one each for Christmas..Thank you so much for sharing
I was never any good at sewing at school, many years ago, used to take me a lesson to thread the sewing machine!! Not joking. Decided it is time to master this skill, and Stuart, wish there was someone like you way back when, when I was at school. You explain things so easily. Got a freebie sewing machine and was looking for projects for beginners and found you......OMG. You make the projects sound so easy. It has taken me quite a few hours to make the book pillow but I love it, and am given them to family members. They aren't bad even if I do say so myself. Thank you for taking the fear away from this subject and explaining this clearly and simple. Looking to make the Japanese Rice bag next. Thank you thank you
Inspired! Awesome...lovely book pillow...love it! Thanks for the generous tips and clear tutorial!
Great project! Well explained!
I, too, LOVE the sound of good shears cutting fabric!
Just made four of these for my grandkids, following your wonderful tutorial. I watched several videos, before I got started. Yours, is by far, the best. I did use my embroidery machine and added a little saying on the pocket and then added their names at the top. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Thank you Stuart I know two little boys that would love this Book Cushion You are Keeping me Very Busy With your Wonderful Tutorials .
Very nice video . Enjoyed your directions, and the tip for putting the pillow into the cover . This will be much easier from now on .
Lovely tutorial. I enjoy the sound of the scissors just as you said. It’s as lovely as the crunch of stepping on deep overnight snow. It’s a quiet thrill.
I just made this lovely book pillow for a dear friend who is undergoing chemo. She now has a comfy pillow to take along and a pocket for a book and snacks. Thank you for such a clearly explained tutorial. It was a pleasure to sew along with you! You explained each step clearly and in a calm voice. Love your videos!
Great Tutorial Stuart! Thank You ❤️-You made it very clear and concise and I do believe that I am confident enough to create this also! Have a great weekend! XX Marie-Wisconsin
This is the first time I have seen your videos. You are a marvelous teacher. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you. I too see this as a great gift for my grandson ❤️. Have a great day!!
I love your ideas and I have been sewing for a long time. I subscribed .
I will be making two cushions for the grandkids, with a gift card from their favorite Book Store, in the pocket. Thank you very much for the video tutorial. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
Needleworknut that’s wonderful! I was an elementary school teacher for some years and the gift of reading is pretty hard to beat!
Beautiful! Will be making these for my loved ones 🥰Thank You! Illinois, USA
Great idea
Love your book pillow. I adore wind in the willows. ❤️
That’s gorgeous! And what a cute, easy gift.
Loving the tutorials especially the book pillow. Great for beginners like me . More little projects please
I have just made two of these lovely cushions for my great niece and nephew, 5 and 3, for Christmas presents. They love anything made by Auntie Helen. Thank you Stuart for easy to follow and precise instructions for this project.
Hi, do you know what size pillow inserts I need for this? Thank you Ruth
Beautiful! Great tutorial, thank you.👏👏👏
I so loved this project. I adore the fabric pattern as well. I have saved this video so I can try this project as future presents for my kids and grandchild. They are all avid readers.🥰 I have since made 6 of these pillows for Christmas gift.
Excellent tutorial full of really good tips for this new-ish sewer! Glad to have found it. Subscribed for sure!
Great project Stuart. You explain things very well. I think I will make this for my great nephew. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for a chirpy cheery tutorial. Enjoyed it immensely love you talk faster but able to be informative at that speed without me losing track of where you are going.
I got all the stages done ( or so I thought). Today proceeded to sew.
Didn't overlock till I checked right side out was as is should be and seams caught all fabric. Ironed it and thought how lovely.
Then I saw my mistake.
No handle. So sneaky me marked where it needed to go, unpicked only that section of seam then popped in handle sewed it in and reinforced BEFORE I rechecked right side. In my unpicking I had pulled out edge of one of the backing hemmed pieces.
But now I was already adept at unpicking and realized I only needed to undo stitching where back section out. The overlocking in place held the rest of seam in place for me still allowing space to slip that turned edge back into side seam.
The unpicking reinforces the need to check and double check next time around.
**Can you tell us what fleece interfacing you would recommend for this project please. **
I went to use normal polyester wadding pieced together but it was way too thick I had some quilting fleece but opted to use iron on polyester fleece used in bags.
It cost more than fleece no doubt but I purchased it to make bags using a specific pattern that alas was very badly done with link to video long dead and instructions possibly translated on line to English before printing out. If you can't read English you can't check the translation and I ended up with metres of fabric and fleece unable to be used till now.
Now I can create book pillows for charity and possibly for family too.
Thank you for your smiling face, your tips and checks and double checks along the way. You are an excellent tutor.
What a great gift idea. Also would be great for shelters. I think kids would love to have something of their own that they could put some of their things in to keep.
Donna Colegrove ❤️
Absolutely brilliant. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you Stuart.
A great tutorial. One of the best and very well explained on how to make a book pillow. Like the added handle and being able to take the cover off the pillow.
‘Like a shirt that’s a little too small for the wearer, I know that feeling’...funny. Wonderful tutorial, clever way to insert the pillow. I just bought 4 books, will be making this pillow. It gets tiring holding a book up, more comfortable to place it on the pillow while reading. Thank you.
Love. It as always Thanks for sharing Ros x
Thanks Stewart! Love the idea for faux binding. As always, great clear and easy to follow instructions from you! I enjoy and learn from all your videos. 😉
Thank you for such a clearly explained tutorial. I am an experienced seamstress (started to say "sewer," until I realized it's spelled the same way as a plumbing sewer🤢), but it's always helpful to have clear instructions and cutting dimensions. You've got the wheels of my head turning to possibly make some of these to send on a mission trip to Mexico. I'm making over 50 pillowcases for some ladies there. I've considered making travel size pillowcases for the children. Instead, I may modify this tutorial to fit a rectangular travel size pillow so it might be a bit more practical for them to sleep on, if they choose to use it that way.
For future reference, a lot of people use the term "sewist" to avoid the "sewer" issue. 😊
@@nicoles7126 Thanks. Good to know. 👍Seamstress works for me but sounds too feminine for males.
@@rachelh5211 I agree! I prefer "sewist" for myself because I feel like "seamstress" sounds too talented for me. Lol
Brilliant as always, I look forward to your videos. Thank you.
Love this tutorial and your fabric but thank you so much for sharing the tip on getting the cushion pad in not seen that before makes it look easier and it's neater too 😊 😊
Great project. I love the your set up with your work surface, sewing machine and ironing area are all connected so we can see everything. So easy to follow all your steps. Thanks so much.
Thank you Stuart, I made these for my grandsons for Christmas and the loved them xx
Wonderful, love the tutorial, it was just what I was looking for , I see book pillows in my family’s Futures.
This is a lovely video! I loved it! The Wind in the Willows is a fab book - I was just discussing it with my 23 yr old daughter! Off to the fabric store for Book Pillow fabrics and inserts!

Laurie Eggleston ahh that’s lovely...I’ve started reading it again... hope you enjoy your makes!
Brilliant tip on how to get the cushion pad in an envelope backed cover. Simple gift idea. Love it. Thank you. 😍
Such a great tutorial, thank you! You are a joy to watch and a natural-born teacher! Can’t wait to make these pillows for my grandchildren!
Stuart Hillard I made it and I absolutely loved it! Your tutorial was by far the best I have seen. Very easy to follow and not a bit of detail was left out. Thank you Sir.
Such a wonderful video, Stuart! I'm so happy that I've found you on RUclips. I'd been thinking of making these for my grandsons. They're sure to love them! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos also! 😄🧵✂️
Really enjoyed this. Loved the little extra touches like the fleece fronts and the clever way to add an edge to the pocket. I plan to make three of these for my goddaughter's kids. Thank you.
Love watching Stuart, he is so calming and such a lovely, lovely man , instructions very easy to follow
Absolutely gorgeous colors for that pillow Stuart. That is well done. Thank you so much:))
Stuart , love your videos . Never seen a man do sewing projects. I just recently found your channel and even If I don't make anything , I like watching you.
You might also enjoy the RUclips channel Man Sewing with Rob Appell. He has all sorts of fun tutorials and a great sense of humor.
i have been looking for a tutorial on these. This one is so clear on what to do.. Thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful gift idea. Thank you Stuart. I shall be looking out for your next fabric collection to make these.
How have I not found you before? Such a great tutorial with a soothing delivery. Fabulous!
Another great, quick project! Thanks, Stuart!
Another great tutorial Stuart, am already looking forward to the next one, thank you xx
Fabulous! A great idea. 👍
Just wanted to say, “thank you” With your great ability to impart knowledge of sewing this adorable book pillow, I tweaked the original design a bit by adding a tiny “Tooth” pocket and made one of these for each of my 5 children. They turned out amazingly. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to make this video, you have a gift for teaching on this topic!
Thank you. I shall be making two of these for my grandsons. Easy to follow instructions and a pleasure to listen to and watch.
New subscriber here. I’ve made many pillows, but never seen your stuffing method-brilliant! Thank you so much!
Stuart, I really love the way you make a book pillow, with the envelope back...BRILLANT!!
I’ve absolutely loved your tutorial, you’re very PLEASANT & ADORABLE 😊
Why haven’t I found your channel before! Fantastic tutorial. I’m going to go back and watch some more of your other videos. Thank you so much for this great Christmas gift idea for the little ones.
Great. Thank you Stuart. Particularly like the tip on inserting the cushion pad. Many a cushion has waited some time for me to wrestle with that, especially if I'm being a bit ambitious with the size of the pad.
I love the book pillow! My granddaughter will love this pillow. Thank you.
Excellent demonstration of a reading pocket pillow. I've seen other but like yours the best.You've made it very simple.
Very nice way of putting the pillow in.
Thank you it’s so beautiful my granddaughter will Love it
Such an upbeat and relaxed presentation. Just what my granddaughter and I need!!! A lot of others also!!Need to make one for my sister, too!
New at sewing. I shall attempt These cushions as gifts for daughters teachers. Great clear instructions. Thank you x
