Small pillows....

Hi all

I know you will be able to help me with this...

My DDs have small kiddy beds which come with small kiddy sized pillows - after decorating her bedroom wall, bed and pillow (and toys etc) with Poo Art :eek: :mad: :eek: yesterday, I washed her pillows (as per instructions, along with the whole contents of her bedroom :rolleyes: ) and the filling has gone all horrid and bumpy - totally unusable.

So... I need to make small sized pillows to fit their little pillowcases but wondered if I can use an existing pillow without mucking up the filling?

Anybody done this or can advise me please ? :confused:

Many thanks

    I whizzed some pillows through the overlocker to make the square.. but don't see why you couldn't cut them and tuck the raw edges in and stitch down the edge.. that should work

    I've had pillows do that, I spend ages pulling apart the fibres, through the casing, to make them fluffy again.

    Oh and IIRC Ikea does diddy pillows in the cot sets
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Thanks - I have also called the company and they are going to arrange replacements, although that may take a while :rolleyes:
