A couple of months ago, I bought a dog bed made by My Pillow. While shopping for the dog bed, I also got a 2-for-1 deal on a their Travel Anywhere pillow. Once I got them, I gave one to my son & the other one, I cannibalized for a DIY pillow project.
I really like my SLD Climashield pillow, so I thought I'd make a knock-off but instead of using Climashield, I transferred the stuffing from the My Pillow to my pillow. I recently bought some Woodland Camo Hyper D material from RBTR & used that for my pillow cover. Nice stuff. My pattern dimensions were 30" X 11.5" and the finished pillow is just about the same size as the SLD and I had enough My Pillow stuffing to make 2. Not perfect, since my sewing skills are basically on the level of a Neandrathal, but I'm pretty happy with the results just the same.
Here's the finished product with the SLD as a reference. I wanted mine to be a little firmer than the SLD, so it's just slightly overstuffed... 4.5 oz. in the stuff sack.
Can't wait to try it out!
