How to Make A Heart-Shaped Pillow for Breast Cancer Patients
These instructions are provided as a help. If you have another way to make a heart-shaped pillow or a different pattern, feel free to use yours!
Just keep in mind that the ending product needs enough dip at the top of the heart for a lady to tuck it under her arm. This prevents pressure against the surgical site. It can also be worn at an angle to protect the surgical site from a seat belt.
The shoulder strap is to help her keep the pillow in place, but is not required.
Supplies needed:
½ yard fabric
Polyester fiberfill
Ribbon and fray check (if adding the optional shoulder strap)
Steps
1. Print and cut out the pattern
2. Fold the cloth in half and then in half again so that there are four layers of cloth with 2 folds.
