Thank you for this tutorial. I just made one for my friend and will give it to her tomorrow. It came together very well. Hoping she likes it. None were offered to her on her first visit so maybe I can make more for her to share. Thanks again!
This is the most simplified pillow video....I really like the serger idea. Every year I try to pick a charity project to do and make my age number of items to contribute. This year I decided to do this project because a friend's daughter is going through treatment. Your video is really concise and well done. Thank you.
This is such a good idea for people with a medical port and could also be used to buffer car seat belts. I'm short and my seat belt can rub against my neck. Years ago I had a fleecy thing to counter that but this would work too if I made it longer. Looks easy to make.
I always forget those in ppls cars. I'm not allowed to drive for medical reasons and use medical transportation. I use a small stuffed animal.....conversation ensues and ppl check to make sure she's with me.....great for neck support during mris and other scans, grabbing onto during blood tests as I'm a hard stick and grabbing her means no digging my nails into my hand while they're rooting around in there. She's a little wolf I named Luna, old Latin for the moon. She makes people laugh and smile when they see her sitting on my purse or poking her head out of my sewing bag. Kids talk to her...once an almost completely nonverbal kid. Her parents jaws DROPPED open. Sometimes I translate " her words" to them. And if the parents say it's OK she offers a piece of candy.....the smiles I get in waiting rooms, especially when the kids are having a bad day make it so worth it.
I recieved one of these at my infusion camcer when I had infusions every day for nearly 2 years. The seat belt always it exactly where it across mt chest. A chairity group made them and there was a basket full of them
It's a crochet hook. Not a needle. That way the newbies can find it easier. There are plenty of alternatives as well...a chop stick or kabob skewer for example
This is the easiest video I have seen and its beginners friendly. I just lost my sister to breast cancer and I want to give back. My guestion is can I make this on a sewing machine? I don't own a serger?
You absolutely can make it on a sewing machine.....be sure to go back and forth several time over where the velcro is sandwiched between the fabric to give it a stronger hold. I'm sorry for your loss....Tons of {{Hugs}}

Thank you for this easy-to-follow video. I have a friend who is getting a pacemaker and I think this will help.

I'm so glad you got one! I donate monthly to the chemo centers here in my town and have been for years.
Thank you. I'm going to try making one for my mom.
How did it go? And does your Mom love it?
How long are the velcro straps, and how far from the center do you put them ?
Specifying measurments will make the project MUCH easier
Mi piace molto interessante brava ♥️
Can you please give the length of the velcro strips? Thank you!
So sorry for my slow reply....if your pillow is 4" wide I would cut the velcro about 3.5" and then if you need to trim it more you can.

@@7stitches127 Thank You
Sorry for your loss. You can also use the zig zag stitch instead.
Just use the zigzag stitch on the edge after your straight stitch.
What width velcro are you using?
3/4"
How far over do you place the velcro?
Do you mean from top and bottom?
@@7stitches127 I am not sure how far over to place the velcro.
@@7stitches127 yes
@@jjones4377 About an inch to an inch and a half from top and same from bottom.....
