Good stuff. That’s something I hadn’t thought about before. Much appreciated.
Hi Nicole, you have the best blog. I enjoy the projects. I used your mask and video to make masks and give them out to family and friends. I liked your pattern. Your instructions were so easy to follow. I use to sew a lot when i was younger. I still like to sew but, I am rusty. It is coming back, though.
I have a couple of travel pillows and have thought of getting some more for the grandkids. To make some team pillow cases could be great. I just might do that for them.
I’m still hanging at home for a while more. My granddaughter went back to work at her Day Care job. We live in Ohio. Things are opening up here, also.
I hope you get to go on your trip. Sounds great.

Thanks for this pattern. Happy to see others making them. In the past I have made them to sell. Happy Travel.
I love the idea of making travel pillows for grandkids or any other little ones – so they have a special pillow to take when they are away from home!!!
