Oh Lara: I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you making my 'dogbone' pillow. I was in a serious car accident many years ago that left me with a deformed spine and herniated disc disease in my neck area. I have tried so many pillows for sleeping but none eased the aching pain in my neck. I made one of these pillows about 30 years ago and have used one every night since. I make mine from flannel and use a knit fabric to make a stretchy pillowcase (with elastic in a casing on the ends) that comes off for washing. I have made many of these in different sizes and fabrics. Some of them go to the hospitals and for long term care homes for patients who have disabilities to take pressure off of rigid joints etc. Thanks for sharing the pattern for the "dogbone" pillow. I hope others will give them a try.
Wow! I have to make this after reading your post as I also had a serious car accident 30 years ago. Unfortunately as we get older these pains just get worse.
Christmas gift time! Give people this lovely pillow made from stash material or up cycle some older clothes along with a book; you provide the gift of escaping with comfort
Thank you! I have a similar pillow but always wanted to make one. Glad you designed one similar to that because I love it! A little tip for anyone buying a big box of stuffing. Only cut one flap in half to open. So you only have 1/4 of the top open to pull out the stuffing & you can still close the flap. If you open it all, it is like an auto inflatable raft & the stuffing could all poof out! 😀 This pillow will be great for gifts! Thanks again for all your hard work making videos & patterns for us! You are appreciated!
My Grandma bought these bone pillows nearly 20 years ago at her local store. I still have hers. I’m glad I came across your channel because I wanted some guidance on how to make some for family and friends. It would also be a great project for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Thanks for the pattern!
I love this. I have a flannel shirt that's seen better days and I think i'll upcycle it to this. Hey Yeah old sweat shirts and t shirts and receiving blankets. (Somebody stop me. )God bless you all and stay safe
@@latrinamcdonald5338 Dear Latrina, Thank you for your help. I am using an iPad and I don’t see drop box, but I went back to video and heard “Soiffer home”. Turns out it was “sew4home” and was able to go to that site andget the pattern. One more question. I don’t like the premium polyfill to stuff pillow. Do you know anything else that might be nicer stuffing mixture so it feels a little firmer and less squishy? Thanks again.
As a former designer for multiple Fairfield fashion shows I have to tell you this makes me feel old… 80 years? Oh my. But thanks for the pattern! I can see my grandchildren using it behind their heads as they play on their tablets or… Putting it on their chest or belly as they lay down and propping the tablet against it… Perhaps I need to make a couple! LOL!! I have saved your video so I can do that! Thanks again! 😘💋
How cute! I think I'll try to make one for my brother. He's always kinking his neck when he falls asleep in his chair. Thanks for sharing your ideas. You always explain them so well. God Bless.
🪡 Thank you Laura, I also think it might be nice for anyone that needs to sleep on their back...and great for plane travel as well:) a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing your works of art...
Miss Laura, you as always are just inspirational.... and I will make this for when I’m in my recliner watching TV.... LOVE IT... you’re always so amazing to watch, and I relax with your voice..... Hope your new sewing salon/room is doing you well.... Jon
Hi Laura - I like your dog bone design of this neck pillow. It looks perfect for support. It’s nice that it doesn’t come all the way down around your face like all the others I’ve seen. Will try drawing our your design since I don’t have my printer set up yet. Great idea and job! 💕
Wow, your scissors have nice sharp tips! I need those. I should have made this before I left on my road trip. These would make great gifts for Christmas.
I love this. It is very nostalgic for me. My Mom used pillows just like that and I have also, we both called them dog-bone pillows, as well. My Mom had ALS, it was helpful to her in a lot of ways. I am so thankful to have the pattern and the explanation on how to make them so I can make them for my grandsons.
Thank you for this. I have been struggling for 30 years to find something that works for my neck and now for my husbands. I have the perfect frabic. They will hopefully give us the comfort and relief you so desperately need. Thanks again!
This is awesome. I made 2 this afternoon. Best neck pillow I have used and I have tried many. Love your tutorials and have made many of them. You never disappoint me and I am looking forward to each new one.
What a great project which you have made so simple and easy to make. Would make a lovely Christmas gift. Thank you, as always, for sharing your knowledge and creativity.
New subscriber here, you are extremely easy to listen to and I love this. It’s December 29th and I’ve just picked my first gifts I’ll be making for Christmas 2021. Thank you.
Thank you for such clear instructions. I made one of these on my own with no video - it took me a very long time. I have put off making another one because of it, but now I feel confident to do so. Thanks again!
I love all your videos, but this is my new favorite! 😍 What a lovely gift to make for those we cannot hug, yet. Thank you for your outstanding instructions and encouraging voice. Happy and healthy New year! María 🥳👏🏼😊
Love your sweet voice and the pillow .. just finished making one with cute fabric. Someone else also had this but hers were bigger and I like your heart shape much better and also smaller and cute cute cute … thank you for your awesome explanations …
I love this too. I have a bad neck and always use something behind my head when I sleep. And flannel will be so soft to sleep on. THANK U THANK U. THANK U
Thank you Laura for your pattern and instruction...I’ve been after a neck pillow that actually works for me and now I have one, thank you for sharing with us all xx
Hi Laura - Thanks so much for this video. I have made several of this type of pillow for myself, husband, family and friends from another tutorial and could never quite get the ribbon pulls in correctly. Your video makes it easier to understand. I use wider and longer ribbon pieces and use a pinking shears to trim the seams.
Love this. I need this as I sleep in a semi-upright position most of the time. This will allow me to make a pillow that will fit me perfectly. Thanks soooooo much!
Hello, I use a heated wheat cushion on my neck & back because I have herniated & degenerative discs 😋 so I really need to make myself one of these Neck pillows 😋 thank you 💕 Erica x
Thank You so much for this tutorial. I made the pillow and it looks (dare I say) great. You are an excellent instructor and "sew very easy" to understand. I have made a vector image of your design for the pillow and I would love to give it to you so that you may post it. I'm not sure how to get ahold of you and I figured I would try this path. Thanks again. Just let me know if you want the image and I will send it to you.Have a blessed day!
I watched another tutorial and yours is easier to understand how to put the 3 bone shapes. I did this by only watching how you pinned it all together. I did not turn the sound on because some tutorials have excess talking. I and a Joe Friday type of girl, “ Just the facts ma’am”.
Cute projects. Where do we find the 80 crafts they offering? I looked on their order page but didn’t see a listing. This looks like an awesome, very usable item.
I altered your pattern slightly by changing the heart shape to more of a spade shape at the top. Made a better neck pillow in my opinion. Thanks for the idea
This would be great for my neck. I have problems when I set in a chair , always having to hold my neck straight, chairs tend to lean back to some degree, not comfy. Thank you :)
I hope you read this. My brother is undergoing chemo presently and I can not be with him as we live in different states but I would love to make him a pillow or two; however, I am not able to get your pattern to show online. Would you be so kind as to tell me where I may find the pattern? Thank you. I do so enjoy your channel.
Great idea thank you . I wonder if there is a way to st..For a nuff it with something that could absorb heat in the microwave . For a nice heated neck pillow.

How do I get to the “link in the description to get the pattern for this lovely pillow so I can download it and print it to make pattern?Thank you.
I totally agree

What a cherry whimsical design - thank you!👏🥰

A little tip for snipping around the edge corners, just use pinking shears, if you can!!
This is awesome. I made 2 this afternoon. Best neck pillow I have used and I have tried many. Love your tutorials and have made many of them. You never disappoint me and I am looking forward to each new one.
Thank you so very much! This is a project I can do and it will help my DH (73 years old) who has neck and back issues. Can't wait to try it!
