Blanket or pillow? You decide!

Step 3 Sewing the pillow

Lay out the blanket flat. If the blanket were a bed, go to where your head would be. Place your pillow so the top edge of your pillow is even with the top edge of the blanket. Measure in from the sides of the blanket to make sure the pillow is centered.

If you chose to decorate your pillow, place the decorated side face down on the blanket.

Sew the blanket and pillow together about half an inch in from the sides of the pillow. Sew only three of the sides, leaving the side that meets the edge of the blanket open. This will form the pocket to put your blanket in.

You're done! All that's left is to fold it into a pillow, and add handles out of scrap fabric if you want.

Instead of leaving the edge side open for the pocket, if you leave the opposite side open, when used as a blanket, you can stick your feet in the pocket to keep warm. Of course this would mean that it would be the bottom side as a blanket.

you could also sew one pocket on the reverse side of the one you would tuck the rest of the blanket in and have a pocket to put your feet in.

This is a great project! I love the simplicity!
