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

LOCAL DISTRIBUTION IDEAS
  •      Contact local hospitals or cancer treatment centers
  •     Contact local breast cancer support groups
  •     Personally deliver to friends in the church or community
