Piano Pillow

This fleece Piano Keyboard Pillow is so soft and snuggly and so

easy to make!  The finished size is 14" x 28". 

I purchased a 14" x 28" pillow form from JoAnn Fabrics (with my 40% coupon, of course)

 Cut 2 pieces of fleece fabric 15" x 29".  Draw pencil lines 1 1/2" apart across the entire pillow and using a short and narrow zig zag stitch, stitch over the lines from top to bottom.

Cut a rectangle of black fabric 7" x 10" and iron to Wonder Under.  Using your favorite method, cut strips 3/4" wide.  I drew lines with a pencil and cut, although you can also use a rotary cutter.

Lay the black piano keys centered on the top of the white keys.  Place a piece of cloth over top and iron the black keys to the white keys.

Using a zig zag stitch, stitch around all the black keys.

I usually assume that my readers have some sewing ability, so I am not going to get into how to put a zipper in for a closure.  Sewing Barefoot has a nice tutorial on installing a zipper in a pillow. 

I chose to not use a zipper, so I just pinned wrong sides together and sewed around, leaving an opening to insert the pillow form.  After inserting the form, I hand stitched the opening.
