". . . when we say that the Church is a family, we mean it quite literally. The Church is not a reflection of the reality that is "family"—quite the opposite. The family is a reflection of the reality that is the Church." -Fr. Robert Johansen

A nursing pillow for my cousin Amy.
Super easy to make (I used my old one as a pattern) and sure to be my new go-to gift idea.
I used a cotton flannel on the bottom and medium weight cotton on top.

Darling! Please share the details and tutorial. What did you use to fill the pillow? Is the cover removable?
Thanks for the inspiration.

I’ll try and upload my pattern sometime this week.
It was very easy to put together and it is stuffed with regular old fiberfill. I was thrilled that I was able to make it with fabric and stuffing I had on hand and all told it took me just under 1.5 hours to make.
I didn’t make the cover removable on this one but that would be simple to do.
I’ll try and do a tutorial.
Very, very nice.
Thats so pretty. I have been looking for a gift for a neighbor having baby. This will fit the bill, I never would have thought of it.
Oh my. That is cute cute cute!
Can I be you when I grow up? Except, like, you’re younger than me…

I love it. I cannot wait for the tutorial. I have some fiberfil in my store room and this would be perfect for our new baby.
