Compression Pillows for Post-Mastectomy Patients
One of our members is a breast surgeon and has requested pillows for her surgery patients to allow them to recover in relative comfort. These are very quick, easy, and a great use of bits and pieces from your scrap bin! If you make any, please bring them to any general membership meeting.
Directions:
Piece some bits together, then cut to size.
Small version: cut fabric 7”x9”.
Larger size: cut fabric 9”x11”.
With wrong sides together and a 1/2” seam allowance, stitch around all four sides, leaving about 3-4” unstitched...be sure to backstitch at start and end!
Turn right side out, and stuff moderately firm with polyfil.
Blindstitch closed (or edgestitch by machine).
Clean up with a lint roller and you are done.
