[Nfb-krafters-korner] The no sew fleece pillow

[Courtney Fulghum Smith]

Today I am actually going to make a mattress cover for my pup's bed using this method. He has two pillows in his crate that I am going to make cases for, also. I bought a ton of fleece when it was on sale at JoAnn's a few weeks ago & will be making game day throws & baby blankets. Super excited about doing this!
