Now I am neither pregnant nor require an orthopaedic pillow...but have you tried one? They are the comfiest things you will sleep on! So yes I own one...one problem, it is impossible to find a 'pretty' cover for one.
So my solution?...As always...make one!
V-Shaped Pillow Tutorial
What you need:
An old pillow case for your pillow
Fabric
Trimmings
Iron
Machine
Coloured Thread
First Lay out your old case (the pink) and cut two pieces of new fabric adding a seam allowance. One of the new pieces needs to be longer at one end (as shown) to create the flap that holds the pillow in.
Choose your decoration, I chose a strip of Cath Kidston fabric and a strip of white lace. Attach your decoration to the right sides of your fabric.
Now take the piece of fabric that has the longer side and fold and iron about 1/2 inch of the end and then fold again and iron to get a smooth edge. Now sew securely in place. Fold this up to the same length of the other piece, creating a sort of pocket.
Place the fabric right side to right side, sew all the way round. Snip corners and fold right side out. Pop in your pillow.
