Cell Phone Pillow - Stand

Cell phone pillow stand. So far I've made a couple of these and I'm actually thinking of making a few more so they're handy in every room. I thought I would share with you how I made them.

First I cut a rectangle 10" X 6"

Then fold it in half, right sides together so your fabric is 5" X 6" with a fold on the left.

With the fold on the left sew along the top leaving an opening about an inch and also sew along the right side.

Next take the open end at the bottom and meet up the fold from the left with the seam from the right.

Sew along the bottom.

Through the opening turn your fabric right side out and at the closed end mark at ½" and 1"

Then I used a pencil I had laying around ( should be approx. the equivalent of a ¼" dowel) and cut it to 4 and 5/8"

Put the cut pencil(dowel) through the opening at the top and push it all the way down to the bottom.

Using my zipper foot I sewed a seam as close to the pencil(dowel) as possible. Should be approx. the half inch line we marked earlier.

Switching back to my regular foot I sewed a seam at the second mark we made(one inch mark)

Next I added some polymer pellets I had on hand to add weight to my pillow. I just added until I felt it was heavy enough if I get a chance I'll try and weigh this to see.

Then I stuffed with small pieces of stuffing until nearly full. I did not over-stuff. Finally I stitched my opening closed and done!

Sorry I have no pictures of my phone on the pillow but I needed my phone to take the pictures. But I have a Samsung Note 4 and it fits perfectly!
