I know it's been four years since you posted this, but I hope you are still reading the comments. I am a reading tutor for second grade students and I have made one of these for each of the three girls I've tutored for the last three years. It's a wonderful end-of-the-year gift for them and I always include a book with the pillow -- one that has a special meaning for each of them. Their eyes always light up when they see me pull this pillow out of my big bag. Thank you for making this easy to follow tutorial!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellent teaching style. I've just begun to sew after 30 years - (raised kids). I've made 6 of these pillows as gifts to my great nieces, nephews & 3rd cousins! My current pillow will be for my very own (and first) granddaughter!!! Thank you again. You're a true blessing. Sewing from Conyers, GA USA.

Could watch your sewing all day long......Stuart you are entertaining , clever , very helpful n make the project your doing easy to follow . Thankyou. From WA...Australia. ❤

The bit about inserting the pillow into the envelope back is brilliant. Thanks

Brilliant tutorial! I find some simple, beginner sewing videos to be quite condescending but you explained everything clearly with some brilliant tips! I'm going back to sewing after about 15 years so feel like I'm back at the beginning again. This is probably the best book pillow tutorial I've watched. Thank you!

Great project but the real gem was the tip on putting the cushion pad into the envelope cover. Genius! I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this. Thank you.

You make it look so effortless and easy.Thanks for sharing ... as a novice with a sewing machine you've made me believe I could actually do that .... I am inspired... : )

Thank you so much Stuart. Your voice is so calming and it may be the FIRST video I didn't fast forward through to the end. Your work is beautiful and you have thoroughly explained the directions. I can't wait to make mine~!!

Fantastic. What a incredible teacher. Could watch and listen to him for hours.

Absolutely loved this video. You made me feel welcome and fully able to make the project. Great tips and love the little aside comments too :) Looking forward to more projects. Thank you.

What a fantastic tutorial, you did an awesome job explaining everything with such a gentle voice, thank you so very much!!! 💚

Another fabulous video given in such a calming friendly manner that it makes me feel able to achieve this, thank you so much Stuart for taking the time to share this tutorial, can not wait to try this xxx

Great project! Well explained! I, too, LOVE the sound of good shears cutting fabric!

What a wonderful gift idea. Thank you Stuart. I shall be looking out for your next fabric collection to make these.

This a great gift for my granddaughter thank you from Switzerland

Two book cushion covers made in less than two days. Thank you for the inspiration. My grand-boys will love these for Christmas as a year long gift from their Nana. I divided the book pocket so it is large enough to hold a drink bottle or a box of pencils.

Inspired! Awesome...lovely book pillow...love it! Thanks for the generous tips and clear tutorial!

Brilliant as always, I look forward to your videos. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this. Loved the little extra touches like the fleece fronts and the clever way to add an edge to the pocket. I plan to make three of these for my goddaughter's kids. Thank you.

Such a wonderful video, Stuart! I'm so happy that I've found you on KZfaq. I'd been thinking of making these for my grandsons. They're sure to love them! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos also! 😄🧵✂️

Oh Stuart what a wonderful tutorial you explain everything so we'll do you have more of these type of tutorials as I am not a quilter but am hoping to improve my sewing with smaller projects keep up the good work hugs kisses and blessings x x x

A great tutorial. One of the best and very well explained on how to make a book pillow. Like the added handle and being able to take the cover off the pillow.

Just love your videos, you have such a lovely way of teaching. Thankyou so much. 💖

Great Tutorial Stuart! Thank You ❤️-You made it very clear and concise and I do believe that I am confident enough to create this also! Have a great weekend! XX Marie-Wisconsin

Your instructions are perfect. Many other sewers give instructions but yours are perfect!!!! Thank you!!!!

If you have a favorite tree yo sit under And your sewing projects, then you are such a lucky person. Thanks so much for that wonderful video. I've made three as of today & just about to start one for a friend's little son who likes to read. Thank you Stuart.

Love this tutorial and your fabric but thank you so much for sharing the tip on getting the cushion pad in not seen that before makes it look easier and it's neater too 😊 😊

You are adorable! I love how easy you make this look. Please keep up making these simple quick projects, thank you!

I absolutely adore this project! I made one for my 7 year old and 3 for my brothers children. You have the most tranquil voice, and your choice of words are delightful! I’m extremely new to sewing and not once did I become frustrated or felt that you had left me behind. Your speed was perfect and the dialogue you entered made it entertaining. So, in a nutshell, educational, relaxing, entertaining, and productive. I thank you for this opportunity! And the kids LOVE the pillows!

Enjoyed the tutorial of the Book Pillow😊😍 I saved this video to my Favorites I have a pillow cushion to use for the project.😀Than you so much for sharing😍🤩

You explain things so well! Love your book pillow variation. So pretty! Thank you!

Great tutorial! I’ll definitely make several of these! Thanks for tip about putting cushion inside at the end-brilliant and so simple!

Love it! Have to make one for my grand daughter!! Love your style of teaching and how easily you go thru each step! Love your voice too!

Absolutely brilliant. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you Stuart.

Great. Thank you Stuart. Particularly like the tip on inserting the cushion pad. Many a cushion has waited some time for me to wrestle with that, especially if I'm being a bit ambitious with the size of the pad.

These pillows are on my list of things to make next. I love your fabric choices. So pretty.

What! Flip the flap over? Be still my heart. Thank you for the tip. I love the pattern and I'm going to make it for all my grands for Christmas next year. I've got about 11 of them. ❤❤❤🤪

So so glad I came upon your channel,I have been binge watching you all week…I have learned how to make so make Christmas gifts…Will be busy again Thank you for sharing your talents…I have definitely subscribed and will tell my fellow quilters…

Whew!! So glad I found your video. I’m feeling super confident now as I start my first pocket pillow. You’re an very good instructor.

Watched this and immediately went to the fabric shop and got what I needed to make a half dozen! Thank you so much!

Beautiful! Great tutorial, thank you.👏👏👏

New subscriber here. I’ve made many pillows, but never seen your stuffing method-brilliant! Thank you so much!

i have been looking for a tutorial on these. This one is so clear on what to do.. Thank you for sharing.

I so loved this project. I adore the fabric pattern as well. I have saved this video so I can try this project as future presents for my kids and grandchild. They are all avid readers.🥰 I have since made 6 of these pillows for Christmas gift.

I looked at so many tutorials for these types of pillows and this is the one I chose. Just finished my first one and I love it! Your voice is so calming...relaxing to watch and very well explained! I chose to add batting to the front pocket instead of the top fabric ( with basic quilting lines). Will be making more for gifts!

I love the book pillow! My granddaughter will love this pillow. Thank you.

A brilliant tutorial, and tips, thank you! Love the faux binding and side by side envelope back. I have 3 to make, so I will use this to do so!

Wonderful, love the tutorial, it was just what I was looking for , I see book pillows in my family’s Futures.

Love your book pillow. I adore wind in the willows. ❤️

Great video! Thank you. I too see this as a great gift for my grandson ❤️. Have a great day!!

Brilliant tip on how to get the cushion pad in an envelope backed cover. Simple gift idea. Love it. Thank you. 😍

Love this tutorial! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent.

You are an excellent teacher. Exactly what I needed to feel confident in making an envelope pillow….and smooshing it in too!

My sisters and I would have loved these as children. We were raised without television and read absolutely everywhere. I loved your comment about reading in a tree! ( plum or apple trees work really well!

Thank ͏Yo͏u so much! Your an excellent sewing coach! I’m new to these kind of sewing projects and you are so calm and easy to follow!

Loved making these book pillows, thank you so much for a great tutorial.

Thanks Stewart! Love the idea for faux binding. As always, great clear and easy to follow instructions from you! I enjoy and learn from all your videos. 😉

Why haven’t I found your channel before! Fantastic tutorial. I’m going to go back and watch some more of your other videos. Thank you so much for this great Christmas gift idea for the little ones.

This was my first sewing project. I made it for my daughter. You did such a wonderful tutorial and explained every detail so precisely. I am so pleased with how my pocket pillow turned out! Thank you so much!

I was never any good at sewing at school, many years ago, used to take me a lesson to thread the sewing machine!! Not joking. Decided it is time to master this skill, and Stuart, wish there was someone like you way back when, when I was at school. You explain things so easily. Got a freebie sewing machine and was looking for projects for beginners and found you......OMG. You make the projects sound so easy. It has taken me quite a few hours to make the book pillow but I love it, and am given them to family members. They aren't bad even if I do say so myself. Thank you for taking the fear away from this subject and explaining this clearly and simple. Looking to make the Japanese Rice bag next. Thank you thank you

Bravo! What a wonderful tutorial! So pleasant and patient. I've enjoyed it so much, and that faux lining idea is genius! Can't wait to make it. Thank you!

Thank you for your clear instructions. I am a great grandma and have been asked to make book pillows for great grandkids. Such fun and so glad I am still able to sew. Just need the encouragement from this video. "85" and still sewing.

Thank you Stuart, love watching your tutorials. I have 2 of these to make now.....😊

I could listen to your voice all day! I feel like I just did yoga without having to roll out my mat! And what a lovely project!

Just made four of these for my grandkids, following your wonderful tutorial. I watched several videos, before I got started. Yours, is by far, the best. I did use my embroidery machine and added a little saying on the pocket and then added their names at the top. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

I wish I had found you before I ever started to sew, although you probably were a baby at the time. Stuart you make me smile, you describe everything so clearly and I love listening to you even when I know how to do what you are making. You are amazing.

You are an absolute charmer and sooo good at teaching. Thank you so much.

I just made one of these for my daughter following your tutorial. She is so pleased with it. Thank you so much for showing how it's made.

Another great, quick project! Thanks, Stuart!
