This is an instructable on how to make an Indie pillow bag/ mandolin case.
This is an awesome bag to have filled with an emergency pair of clothes and a blanket, in case your car breaks down, or just in case you want to spend the night somewhere out of the blue. You'll be prepared and do it in style.
This a really unique bag - if you are going to a sleep over, just stick in a change of clothes or anything you don't mind laying on and it doubles as a pillow.
If you like this instructable - rate it :) and if there is something you need me to clarify, just message me and I'll elaborate. :)
I specifically made this as a gig bag for my mandolin, so that's the dimensions that I will have up, but you can change the sizes to fit your style.
Talk about multi-functional :)

Hahaha, I actually have the exact same mandolin that you do so this was made really simple for me since I was basically able to use all of the same dimensions and stuff ^^ This was so fun and easy to make. Thank you for coming up with the design!!!

Good idea. Love the multi-functionality. In keeping with the "cheap" theme (thrift store, remnants), I salvage my mom's pillows - she uses synthetic stuffing, and I use down - after they get so flat they won't fluff up in the dryer anymore. I then use the pillow stuffing in all kinds of projects - and I usually have way more stuffing than projects that need it!

A padded bag is a great idea! Like you say, multifunctional!
