Pillow Bed

Image
My eldest granddaughter loves to lie on the floor and watch TV and usually takes all the cushions from the sofa, much to the annoyance of the rest of the family! So, l decided to alleviate the situation with a simple pillow bed. I used an old double duvet cover which I have had in the airing cupboard for the last 15 years at least! I cut it in half across the middle, as it is the bottom half of the duvet cover we need, so we can use the fasteners along the side to enable easy washing! Once you’ve cut it in half, turn it inside out and sew up the long seam, leaving the fastener side open. Turn it the right way again and place 4 pillows on the right side. Make 4 compartments for the pillows by pinning into quarters using plenty of pins to get the straight lines. I also used tailor’s chalk to ensure the lines were straight. Sew the 3 lines across the cover.  Pop the pillows into the cover and if needed, open the seam at the bottom of the cover to enable the end pill
