Pillow-hugging

Until recently, no one had ever heard of such a miracle as a pillow-hugging. According to statistics, there are more and more single people on the planet, and the desire to feel yourself in loving embraces does not disappear anywhere. To solve this problem, we came up with this miracle pillow.

Especially popular now in the Land of the Rising Sun is a Japanese cushion-hugging anime or dakimakura. She is close to human growth - from 150 centimeters and above and has prints in the form of anime characters who are very famous now. Lonely people not only use them during sleep, but also carry them everywhere. So far, the fashion for such cushion-hugging has not reached us.

For us Europeans, other types of cushion-hugging are more familiar - large pillows for pregnant women , on which it is convenient to be placed so that the back, legs and abdomen will be in a comfortable position, baby cushions in the form of pet animals, and small cushions that can be Hug, curled up or put under your neck, during a long journey.

Very comfortable and interesting cushion-hugging, made in the form of a shoulder with a hand or the letter "C", they can be used by an adult and a child during sleep or rest, embracing such a "friend".

Any such pillow can be purchased in the store, but it is much easier and cheaper to sew it yourself, because it does not require a lot of skill and experience, the main thing is to have a sewing machine.

Pillow-hugging for a comfortable sleep - a master class

The pattern of the pillow-hugging is very simple - it can be the English letter "C", "G" or "U". In this case it's "C", but the "horns" are of different lengths, and one is more twisted so that the pillow is easier to hold you. Out of superfluous wall-papers or a paper we make a paper pattern. The width will be about 30-40 cm, and the length will be up to 1.5 m, depending on the desired size.

Performance:

  1. We decompose the paper sample onto the fabric folded in half (if the pillow is the same on both sides), on the wrong side and carefully circled. Before you cut out the resulting contour, do not forget about the allowances on the seams - it will be enough one and a half centimeters. It is best to do this on a large table or, like us, on the floor, because there is always a lot of space. The fabric is suitable for any, but it is best to use a fairly dense natural material that will not cause irritation.
  2. Do not use too light shades, because the pillow will quickly stall. But if it does not work out in another way, you can sew a pillow-cushion on your pillow separately. This is the most hygienic option, which for sure will appeal to the majority. Fabrics on it can be taken brighter, and then the pillow will become a real decoration of the interior.
  3. Now, from the wrong side, it is necessary to sew manually along the contour, having retreated from the edge already stipulated one and a half centimeters. Somewhere in the middle you need to leave a hole of 20-30 centimeters in order for the pillow to be filled with a sintepon or holofayber. After the manual part of the work is completed, we start to work on the sewing machine. We spend it on the planned way, not forgetting to leave a free part for filling.
  4. Carefully remove the marking and turn the future pillow on the front side.
  5. For the pillow to look neat, smooth it with an iron.
  6. Now it's time to fill the pillow. You can use any material, but keep in mind that the sintepon cracks and quickly loses its shape, but the holofayber behaves flawlessly. Natural fillers - fluff or feather - are environmentally friendly, but can cause allergies. We start packing from the very edges, evenly filling them through the left technological hole - the more it is, the faster the work will progress.
  7. After the hole for sewing is sewn, the pillow acquires this kind of appearance, it remains only to put on the pillowcase.
  8. Cushion-hugging "dressed" a bright outfit, and our task is not to spoil everything, because this is a very important moment - when neatly, manually sewn a hole with a secret seam.
  9. This pillow will now decorate your sofa, armchair or bed and will be hugging, when the soul is sad and lonely.
