I closed the opening with a zipper and used a towel for the fill. Now I can wash both parts as needed for my elderly friend with Parkinson disease. It is placed under her chin to help her keep her head up so she can look forward and while eating.
What a great idea 💖
That’s a great idea Nancy. May I ask the zipper size you used?
How kind, sweet and thoughtful!!! Whatever you do to the least of these, do ye also unto me!! Your reward will be in heaven!
That's a great idea x
The zip is a great idea, I’ve heard of people stuffing them with spare clothes for the plane in case their luggage doesn’t arrive.
I just made two pillows and cut the pieces out separately. They were slightly off and not identical as you mentioned, so your idea for sewing the cut-out piece onto the uncut fabric is a great idea. I plan to make a few more, so will use this technique on them. Thank you for saving me time and hassle on the next ones!
Vanessa, thank you for this tutorial. With one yard each of print and sold fabric I have made 4 neck pillows thus far. With a little bit of time and money you can whip up great christmas gifts in no time. I still have to whip up more so I better get back to the sewing machine. Again thank you.
I've done a lot of projects using this fabric and found a walking foot makes it so much easier and because of the movement of the fabric, I found clips far better than pins, great project, thank you
I forgot my mums birthday and didn't get her a gift so I made this last minute and she said my gift was the best out of all of the children thanks so much your a life saver.
When I'm looking for good instruction for how to do something, I always know you'll have it! Thanks as always.
Thank you, Vanessa. I showed this video to my friend and gave her your template. She made a nice pillow for her brother. It was so easy.
I love this tutorial...I don't think you've come up with one that I've not enjoyed yet. This one showed up right on time...I was just searching for something that I could put together for a few people before Christmas...and this is it. Thank you so much.
+Jacquelyn Allen Yes! It's the perfect Christmas gift! They'll be traveling home in comfort!! :)
Hola me regalas el molde de la almoada@@CraftyGeminiCreates
I'm flying out to see my dad in Iowa next month and I am so making this!!!!! What perfect timing. Thank you.
wow I love your channel, I'm just starting out with sewing, I learned a lot of useful tips.
Hi Vanessa, I made this pillow today with some left over fleece and it came out great . Your pattern and your instruction made it so easy. Thank you.
Thank you I been looking for a gift he can use for my husband for his birthday falling asleep in his recliner watching his favorite movies for his neck not hurting your the best 👍👍👍
Thanks Vanessa, this is what I'm making for my husband for Father's Day 2016.
I love your videos!!!!! I am trying to teach my grandson how to sew and you have helped him out. Keep up the great work!!
Nice tutorial. Will be picking up some fabric this week and give this a try. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.

I am a very beginning sewer and I made this project in no time. Thanks for the easy projects to show me I can learn to sew. Enjoy your other videos too!
Just learnt to make the cover from my own pattern.Had to make one for my patient.I was surprised to find it so easy.
Love this!! Just watched with my 5 yo who just got his own "quilting machine". We are going to try to reduce the pattern to make it kid size!! Thanks so much!
+Lynnea Bretz That will be such a fun project for the two of you! :)
Wow you got your 5 year old sewing thats awsome my three year old has some interest and we have sewed a few stiches together but i thought he was too young to go full on teaching.
I whipped up three in no time Thanks for the template and tips. They were so easy.
Vanessa you save my Christmas gift dilemma for my male family members every year. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Just wanted to say that I love all of your videos!! Especially your sewing machines reviews! This is an awesome video! I use to work in a fabric store and cuddle fleece and Ultra soft and comfy are fabulous!!! I use to rub on all the customers fabric when they bring it up. :-D Since I'll be moving overseas for awhile, I'm going to make one for all my family so they can be nice and comfortable when they come and visit!! Thanks again!!
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive see anything like this before. So nice to find anyone with some original ideas on this subject. realy thanks for starting this up. this youtube video is something that is wanted on the youtube, somebody with a bit originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!
Loved your video. The frustrating part was waiting for the fabric I ordered online to arrive. With 2 - 1/2 yard pieces, I made 3 pillows. Added a handle as suggested by another viewer using extra wide double fold bias tape. Had some fabric leftover so I patched them, matching the nap and made another pillow. My friends love them and I plan to make more.
Thank you so much for this. I just made one for my daughter who has a new baby so she can nap while nursing. It is very useful.
I just LOVE your videos! I'm a new sewist (is that a word??? Haha!) and you have given me such confidence that I can actually make some very COOL stuff easily - even with my very basic skills! THANK YOU!!!!
Great project, made one in half an hour! Your pattern is great and your explanation even better. Thanks
I just wanted to say thank you s much for this pattern it was easy and quick. I’m so in love ima make one for my daughters and might make some for Christmas
This will be perfect for our upcoming trip. Great tutorial, thanks Vanessa!
easy-to-follow video. would you perhaps have a tutorial on how to make a removable cover to allow for washing between trips?
Thank you for this tutorial! I just recently got a sewing machine and wanted to try it out so i made a neck pillow for my dad. :D
I tryed it and it was so comfortable thank for blessing me with this neck pillow tutorial 🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
Great tutorial! So easy to hollow. I made this last night and it took me about 15 min to complete. My pillow is so comfy!
+Liz Turney Wow, that's amazing! We'd love for you to share it on the FB page: facebook.com/craftygeminicreates
I am going to use this for my sewing club's next 4H project. Love your videos. Very good tutorial!
+Hope McLeod it is perfect for that!
Thanks for another great tute!! I loved making mine! Perfect gift idea too! Who doesn't love SF cuddle?! Great tips too! Thanks! 😊
I have been wanting to make a neck pillow. Never thought to use the Cuddle Cloth. Thanks so much for the heads up on this. Am enjoying all of your videos. :)
This is the best tutorial you made in my opinion, not because the other are less good, is because try to found a real comfy travel pillow is very difficult. I travel last year from Puerto Rico to South Carolina, I take 3 planes ride for my son army graduation and the travel pillow was very uncomfortable, it's made with memory foam, but is not fluffy its feel like a hard ordinary foam. So when I try to rest make me feel like my neck rest on top of a hard of wood, horrible. If I see this tutorial before I will made my own travel pillow. But now I can made my travel pillow, thank to your tutorial. Thank youuuuu.
+libertadmakeup I'm so glad you liked it and will be giving it a try! This one will put you to sleep while traveling, it's so soft! :)
oh thank you for the free pattern it is very useful!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thanks Vanessa! I was so pleased to see this tutorial with the pattern still available! I recently made three of these travel pillows in a camouflage fleece fabric as birthday gifts for three family members who have been in the Army. They really enjoyed the soft pillow fabric and the firm filling that will hold up for a long time! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with all of us!! (I wanted to post photos but didn't see a way to do that.)
Poly fill is very expensive I just found a AMAZING alternative. Target has these cheap $4 pillows. The "plush pillow" by room essentials. They are full of stuffing that I think is a great substitute for poly fill. I just cut it open and stuffed it right in this neck pillow and it was great! Highly recommend!
Update!!! So I made the pillows and they are perfect!!!! I did some research and decided to use a ballpoint needle...not sure if it was truly needed but worked for me! I also stuck with my standard presser foot and all went well. 1 down 4 more to go!!! They are so easy!!! Guys this is a must try !!
+Akeara Johnson that is so great!! I'm sure the turned out beautifully! :) Keep up the wonderful work!
Thanks for another awesome video: you do a great job of explaining step by step with easy to understand instructions.
I made one using your tutorial and it came out awesome and just in time for my trip 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hey Vanessa- You make this DIY sewing project look so easy...and so fun! What a great idea and a great tutorial! Hugs with Cuddle :)
+ShannonFabrics The Cuddle Fabric was perfect for this one! Thanks so much! :)

Recommend using a walking foot to sew on MINKY or cuddle.
Thank you so much😊😊😊😊

TY again for a great quick gift idea. I think you may want to check your supply list link for the fairfield poly fill. It goes to MSQC and we all know Jenny doesn't carry fluff. TY again
+carylanne rosten Check the MSQC website for Poly-fil. They do carry it now for $4.95/12 oz bag. secure.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/31308/fairfield/-/poly-fil-fiber-12oz
Hi Venessa. You explain DIY projects so they are so easy to understand. Please keep up the great work you do. I just came across this video on the travel and I do plan on making this. I was wondering if you have or plan to also designed this pattern in sizes for toddlers and children ages 5-10? My grandchildre are constandly taking my pillows.
hi...vanessa .. can please share the size in inches ...i mean. i want to know about size of every edge.. So, i can measure easily and cut it out ...i can use your pdf file but it isn't work...
Do you have this pattern in child size? I love your presentation and the sewing the one cut piece onto the not cut piece is genius!
I made it and loved it although I have to say it came out looking more like a child travel pillow than an adults. If you have a wilder neck maybe add an inch or two around the pattern.
Thank you. I made 3
Hello what was the size of the teal cuddle fabric. I'm new to sewing and I will love to do this as a gift but do not know how much material I need to cut out at a time.
Thank You!!
thanks so much for the pattern!
Thank you so much for showing us. ;)
This is awesome, thanks for the video :*
Hi Vanessa, I enjoy all of your sewing projects, the music and classes....unfortunately this time I cannot print the second page for this project and have tried all the links....if you give me the measurements, I can try drawing.....I want to make those for Christmas gifts.....Thanks so much...
I can't seem to find the pattern? Sharon
how is this fabric differ from minky.....also what type of needle should be used with these fabrics
Thank you for the awesome video. Would you happen to have a video that we could learn how to make a removal cover for this neck pillow? Thank you
Hi .thank you so much first of all . However I am not able to open link to download pdf . Could you help me in that case please.
I'm having trouble downloading the template. It keeps coming up with a youtube redirect message and doesn't show any pattern. Any ideas what to do?
Hi for some I try on my phone and tablet to download the pattern it didn't work please help
Hi Vanessa! How much fabric would I need for this project? Kind of expensive (for me) fabric, so I don't want to "over-buy".
Any suggestions on different fabrics that I could use? Thanks
Hi Vanessa, love all your projects. I was trying to download the pattern but the link doesn't work, please help 😊
The pillow looks big. Is this a normal size or bigger size pillow?
Great pattern and I love cuddle fleece. I see that someone already asked about how much fabric is necessary, but it would be great to have it listed in the materials needed list.

Hello Vanessa, I like my neck pillows made with buckwheat hulls. Have you ever tried wool batting? Yes, it’s a little expensive, but a game changer.
Hi, please help. How hard must I press on the rotary cutter? My blades go worthless very fast but it doesn't seem to cut through two layers so I press harder. Thanks I enjoyed.
