Reading Pillow Pattern & Video Tutorial

We believe that all dresses and pillows should have pockets! Amanda Whisman, a Maywood Maker alumni who runs Be Mandy Things, caught our eye when she shared a picture of a reading pillow she created. We thought her design would look fantastic in our Playtime Flannel fabrics, so we collaborated with her to offer a free pattern and video tutorial for her design.

To get started, download the free Reading Pillow pattern from our website and gather your supplies. You'll need three different fabrics, so mix and match your favorite combinations to make pillows for the readers in your life. Once you have everything you need, follow the step-by-step video tutorial with Amanda. The tutorial is beginner-friendly and will guide you through each step of the project.

When Amanda filmed the video, she used our new extra-large wool ironing mat with a printed grid. This is the second in our series of reversible ironing mats, and both sizes are now available for preorder from shops. Watch the video on our Youtube channel!

You can find the Playtime Flannel fabrics and Maywood Studio Wool Notions at your favorite quilt shop or wherever you typically shop for your quilting, sewing, and craft supplies. Amanda's Reading Pillow pattern will be available for a limited time, so make sure to get your copy today!
