Do-it-yourself pillow-roller is an indispensable attribute of comfort and coziness. Pillow under the neck

Healthy sleep, as you know, is the key to good health and mood. Do-it-yourself orthopedic pillow will become great solution for those who have problems with the spine and even absolutely healthy people wishing to improve the quality of sleep.

How to choose the shape and size of the pillow

Orthopedic pillow for cervical osteochondrosis- an indispensable attribute that will help reduce the intensity of the manifestations of the disease and ensure effective prevention of its exacerbations. If you are not yet ready to purchase ready product from well-known manufacturers It's not hard at all to make your own.

Before you start sewing, you should pay attention to several important nuances:

• to correctly determine the height of the product, you need to measure the exact distance from the shoulder joint to the neck;
• if you prefer to sleep on your back, you should choose a pillow that is low and hard;
• for sleeping on the stomach, low soft products are most comfortable;
• the pillow should be the lower, the denser and harder the mattress.

Ideally, do-it-yourself orthopedic pillow should be sewn from natural, safe materials. This applies to both the cover of the product and its filler. Rollers should be made of suitable size, such that provide anatomical correct position cervical region.

Necessary materials

Sewing an orthopedic pillow with your own hands is not difficult at all, even in the absence of professional sewing skills. We recommend making a double-sided product, in which a roller will be located on one side bigger size, and on the other hand, less. Such a model will turn out to be universal and can be used by people. different ages and physique.

For work you will need:

• pattern - it is made on paper according to the template. We will need a template for each side of the pillow. If you show imagination and experiment with materials of various colors, you can make a rather original model;
• two cuts of natural, preferably cotton fabric 50x50 cm in size for a removable pillowcase;
• two cuts synthetic material for the pillow itself. For its tailoring, it is desirable to choose a fabric with water-repellent properties;
• filler - holofiber or other material. It is worth noting that today buckwheat husk is becoming increasingly popular in the manufacture of orthopedic products;
• zipper 25 cm;
• tape 30 cm;
• tailor's scissors, thread;
• sewing machine.

To determine the style of the product, you can see finished models online and in stores. It is even better to test the pillows in one of the stores in order to understand which form will be most comfortable for you.

Tailoring

So, having chosen the style of the future pillow and having made a pattern, you can proceed directly to sewing:

• transfer the pattern to the fabric;
• when cutting out material, do not forget to leave allowances for seams;
• make notches at the junctions of the parts, attach them face to face and sew, leaving space on both sides for stuffing a large and small roller. Ribbon and zipper can be sewn into the seam for convenience;
• now the structure must be screwed in and filled with the selected filler, the remaining hole should be sewn up.

The finished pillow will be a great addition to a do-it-yourself mattress.

Important! If you feel unwell after sleeping on a pillow, it may be worth adjusting the volume of the filler or replacing it with another one.

How to make a travel neck pillow

Long journeys are often very tiring and even exhausting. You can’t really fall asleep on the road, and if you do, then most likely after waking up you will feel weak, pain in your neck. In such situations, the use of special anatomical pillows helps.

If you travel frequently, it is very convenient to use a horseshoe-shaped orthopedic neck pillow in the car and on the plane. Making it yourself is even easier than a pillow for sleeping. To do this, choose a natural fabric of any color and filler. Most often, holofiber or foam rubber is used.

We carefully transfer the paper pattern to the fabric folded in half, cut it out with seam allowances, sew the edges, leave a hole through which the product can be turned inside out and stuffed. At the end of the work, we sew up the hole. The travel pillow is ready.

A custom-made orthopedic pillow will last as long as possible if properly cared for. The product can only be washed with gentle means at optimal temperature regime- 30 degrees. A removable pillowcase will protect it from premature wear and dirt. If buckwheat husk was used as a filler, the pillow cannot be washed.

A self-sewn pillow, with proper use, will not yield to salon products in terms of its orthopedic properties, but it will cost much less.

The pillow-roller has a cylindrical shape. They were common in China and Japan, where beauties, in order not to spoil their fancy hairstyles during sleep, put a small, rather hard pillow in the form of a roller under their necks.

Of course, sleeping on such a pillow is not very convenient, and not useful either. But use it as a decor for a bedroom, living room or even country gazebo- why not! If you put a cover made of waterproof fabric on the pillow cushion, you can even put it on a sun lounger by the pool.

They can be made from fabric of any density and can match, contrast or harmonize in color with existing textiles. However, for do-it-yourself sofa cushions, dense fabric is more suitable.

The pillow inserts themselves, which must be inserted into the case, are different sizes. They can be bought at major textile stores.

Simple pillow-roller

A simple pillow-roller is sewn from a rectangular piece of fabric, from which a pipe is sewn, which is then gathered at the edges.

To hide the gathering place, a button or tassel is sewn there.

The home interior consists of many details that create cozy warmth in the house. One of these interior items is a decorative sofa cushion in the form of a roller. Such pillows, along with pouffes and carpets, came to us from Eastern culture. There they played the role of armrests on couches, wooden sofas. The fillers for them were horse hair, straw or dry fern leaves.

But fluff and feathers were not used to fill such rollers, because. armrests had to be elastic enough to retain their shape and not sag sweat with the weight of the body.

Nowadays, sofa armrests have become fashion accessory- sofa cushion-roller, which you can lie down or lean on while watching TV or reading a book.

The ends of the pillow can be decorated with textile flowers, decorative tassels, pleating, bows, ribbons, ruffles, appliqué or decorative embroidery.

On covers for such pillows, convenient fasteners with Velcro, buttons or zippers are often made. Then they are very convenient to remove and wash as they get dirty. As a filler, synthetic winterizer, cotton wool, holofiber, foam rubber and others are used. modern materials. You can also use pre-made pillows. They can be easily purchased at textile stores, where there are liners of different sizes. It remains only to sew a cover right size, put the insert inside and the pillow is ready.

Pillow with cord trim

To sew such a simple, but very comfortable cushion cushion, we need to stock up on a minimum of materials and a couple of hours of free time.

For work you will need:

1. Thick fabric (velveteen, jacquard);
2. Lightning;
3. Cord;
4. pins;
5. Threads to match the fabric;
6. Scissors;
7. Tailor's meter;
8. Ruler-gon;
9. Simple pencil;
10. Sewing machine.

Sewing instructions

Let's start by cutting out the main part of the cover. Using a ruler-triangle, mark out, cut out an even rectangle from the fabric. In which the longitudinal sides will be shorter than the sides that are sewn to the end round parts. We make the dimensions of the rectangle according to our measurements.

Now we cut the edging for the round side parts of the pillow. The width of both patterns should be 4-6 cm wider than the main fabric. The width of the facings should be 8 cm.

We mark the patterns of round ends using any round object as a stencil (plate, pot lid, ladle, etc.). Cut out two identical parts.

Now we start sewing the roller and sewing on the zipper. We turn a large pattern face inward, we cut off the side seam with pins.

We sew the side seam 1.5-2 cm from the edge.

In the “Steam” mode, smooth the resulting seam by turning the edges in different sides.

Now we apply a zipper, we outline one side with pins, as shown in the photo.

We sew the stitched seam on a sewing machine. Then we pin the other side of the zipper with pins, attach the second edge of the zipper to the base. To protect the edges of the seams from fraying, we overcast them with a zigzag seam. We fix the edge of the zipper with a transverse short seam, cut off the unnecessary part of the snake.

We rip the side seam with a special tool. The result is a neatly sewn hidden zipper.

Now let's move on to the decorative trim. We iron the short edge of the pattern 1-1.5 cm wide inside. Then, folding the workpiece in half, we iron it, as shown in the photo.

We lay the cord along the ironed line, fold the part in half longitudinally. We pin with pins so that the fabric tightly wraps around the cord.

We lay the seam along the basting, as close as possible to the cord, securely fixing it inside the edging.

Cut off the excess fabric. We make small frequent cuts along the edge of the free edge so that the part can easily accept round shape. We do two things.

Now we take one part of the round end, attach one edge of the edging to the edge of the circle. Now, with pins, we carefully tack the entire edging in a circle, cutting off the excess.

After that, according to the basting, we attach the edging with a cord to the side. We make the second part in the same way.

We turn the main workpiece inside out. We apply the end part to the base face to face, we outline the seam of the connection with pins.

We lay a machine seam along the edge at a distance of 1.5 cm.

Open the zipper and turn the pillow right side out. Here our pillow-roller is ready, it remains to put the filler and close the zipper.

Colored pillow with buttons

This pillow will add bright colors and a little romance to the interior. For its tailoring, the remnants of any colored fabric are suitable. In total, you will need 4 variegated colors.

For work you will need:

1. 4 pieces of bright dense fabric;
2. Cylindrical insert (length 35 cm, diameter 15 cm);
3. 3 decorative buttons in the form of hearts;
4. sewing tools (scissors, pins, threads, needles, machine).

Sewing instructions

We choose 3 colors of fabrics that will go to the main part, and leave the fourth segment for cutting round ends. We sew together three rectangular patches along the length of the finished roller. From the fourth piece we cut out two circles with a diameter of 15 cm plus 2 cm for allowances.

We iron the seams in different directions, overcast the edges with a zigzag so that they do not fray. The workpiece should be 35 cm in length plus 3 cm for the seams and a width equal to the circumference plus 2.5 cm for the seams. We tuck both edges of the main canvas, sew to a width of 2 cm.

On one side we will make loops, on the other we will sew heart buttons.

Along one edge on the front side, we sew three buttons at the same distance from each other. For a gap, we retreat from the edge 4-5 cm.

From the opposite edge opposite each button, we sew 3 loops, make cuts inside them.

Having buttoned the buttons, we turn the cylindrical blank inside out, we pin the round parts of the end parts with pins, putting them with the front side inward.

Now we attach the details to each other, cut off all unnecessary. All seams are carefully ironed.

We turn the product inside out, place the cylindrical insert inside, fasten the seam. So a nice cushion cushion is ready, sewn with your own hands according to a simple pattern.

A hand-sewn pillow-roller can be adapted to decorate a bedroom, living room or summerhouse. And if you sew a cover made of waterproof fabric, then you can place it on a sun lounger near the pool or take it with you to the beach.

For tailoring, it is better to use a dense fabric that will be sufficiently resistant to abrasion, but not rough to the touch. The color scheme can match or contrast with the overall color of the textiles in the room.

How to sew a pillow with your own hands? Every needlewoman thought about this. A pillow is needed not only for sleeping, with it you can make the design of the apartment complete and original.

After looking at photos of homemade pillows on the Internet, you might think that sewing requires experience and talent. But having understood the very process of creating a pillow, it turns out that it is not at all difficult.

Let's see how to make a pillow with your own hands?

The most important thing to know before you get started

Before you start sewing a decorative pillow with your own hands, you need to decide exactly how it will look. But more important than this is to choose the fabric and filler.

If you want to make a multifunctional pillow, it is important to choose a fabric that can be easily cleaned. The filler should not fall into dense lumps for as long as possible, losing its elasticity.

Materials. Textile

To make durable, practical and nice pillow you need to choose the right fabric.

Firstly, it should not be highly electrified and attract any dust to itself, it can be easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

Secondly, the material must prevent dust from entering the packing. Suitable fabrics:

• Atlas
• Crepe satin
• Furniture upholstery fabrics
• bike
• linen fabrics

You can use other fabrics, except for propylene matting. It is slippery, rough and tough, so for soft pillow won't fit.

Stuffing

The pillow can be stuffed with many materials. It can be cotton wool, bird fluff or feathers, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer, holofiber and many others.

Let's deal with each filler:

Cotton wool and synthetic winterizer fall into lumps at great speed. At the same time, it is almost impossible to evenly fill the product with cotton wool.

Feathers and down are not suitable not only because of the difficult accessibility, but also because of insufficient elasticity. No one will beat up a decorative pillow like a sleeping pillow, so as not to spoil the beautiful finish.

Hollofiber is readily available, available in two forms: sheets and fluffy granules. Sheet is more expensive, it can be replaced with cheaper foam rubber. Hollofiber is well suited for a pillow. It serves for about 10 years without rolling.

Another filler option is round silicone granules. They are best for baby pillows because they are hypoallergenic and can be easily poured out, rinsed, dried and put back in through a small hole.

Decoration. Colors

The easiest way to decorate the interior is to do it with pillows. different color. Of course, they must fit color scheme to interior items: furniture, curtains or even walls.

It's sometimes not an easy task- achieve a combination - but very popular. From pillows of different colors, you can make an ensemble that will emphasize all the advantages of the interior.

The most interesting thing is that the idea with colorful pillows is not only easy to implement, but also financially affordable.

Note!

Do not stop the choice only on plain fabrics, materials with patterns and ornaments will look advantageous.

Seal

Recently, printing on fabrics has become more and more popular. Why not print on the pillow? it affordable option decoration of your product: printing prices are not very high, the pattern is stable and clear.

With the help of numerous computer programs, you can make a design in advance and even see how the ensemble will look in the interior.

Shape and Fragment

Pillows can be made in absolutely any shape. There are no restrictions in this, the main thing is to show imagination. You can use the technique of modular sewing. To do this, several simple parts are made, which are subsequently sewn in place into a complex product.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is quite difficult to clean. You must either completely disassemble the product, or use a furniture vacuum cleaner.

Note!

Use the same patchwork or patchwork. Most often, they take a key fragment and place it in the center. The fragments combined with it are located along the periphery. Simple but very effective!

key element

Compact key element adds elegance decorative pillow. Such an element can be a button, tassels, bows and much more. There are also no restrictions.

You can ennoble a product from a modest fabric with the help of a key element. With it, the finished product will look richer and more expensive, so you can use technical or furniture upholstery fabrics that do not differ in bright colors.

Knitting, embroidery, lace

knitted sofa cushions more difficult to perform than just sewing from fabric. You must be able to knit or crochet - this is a laborious craft that requires care.

However, so is embroidery. On the pillow, you can embroider any plot with satin stitch, cross or ribbons. Here, too, everything depends on your skill, imagination and perseverance.

You can also decorate the product with lace. Of course, it is easier to buy ready-made lace in a store, but it will be much more expressive if you make the lace yourself.

Note!

Just imagine the faces of guests who saw pillows completely made by you.

For the manufacture of pillows, you can use, for example, old sweater. The effect will be the same as from knitted case. If desired, it can be decorated with various beads, buttons, and so on.

Cushion embroidery

As mentioned earlier, you can decorate the pillow with any embroidered plots, but you can not do them in any technique that you own.

Therefore, do not embroider with beads on the pillow. Why? It's just unhygienic. It will be problematic to wash out all the dirt from under the beads, but what got into the beads itself will remain there forever. Yes, and think about whether it will be comfortable to lie on such a pillow?

Cross stitch is best because it is the most durable. You can wash such a product without worrying that the threads will come out. You can use the smooth surface, but when washing the threads weaken, and the pattern loses its attractiveness.

From old clothes

So, you can make a pillow out of old sweaters, but what else can I use? Yes, whatever! Old T-shirts, sweaters, T-shirts - everything that is lying around in your closet and waiting in line for a landfill.

You can even use jeans. The product will turn out not so soft, but it will look very original.

figurines

These pillows are perfect for a child's room. They can simply stand on a bed or even a shelf, pleasing to the eye and finishing the nursery design. They can serve as toys or serve their intended purpose.

The figurine pillow can be of absolutely any shape, the main thing is that you and your kids like it.

Funny letters

With the help of such pillows, the child will quickly learn the letters. Often letters or numbers are sewn for the holidays. Letters can also serve as toys too.

Sleeping on them is sometimes not very comfortable, but they look great in the interior.

For the manufacture of large letters, it is better to use foam rubber, and fill only the edges with holofiber. In this way, you can stuff any large pillows.

Borders

Every mother of a baby knows the problem: how to protect the child from bumps while sleeping in a crib? The child has already been saved from falling from the crib, but what to do with these hard sides that the child constantly hits in his sleep?

For these purposes, you can also sew a pillow! Foam rubber is best for boards. It is dense and will not allow the child to feel the fences upon impact.

You can sheathe the foam rubber with any soft fabric that the child will not be allergic to. In order for the cushion to hold, it is necessary to sew on fabric ties with which the pillow will stay in the crib.

Any pillow, regardless of its shape, size and design, will fit perfectly into any interior.

Easy to manufacture, not requiring special talent and skills, these products will make a boring and dull apartment, original and cozy place for relax.
