PJ Train Pillow {Final Pajama Post}

So this is the project that I've been the most excited to share with you! Back in January, we redid my son's bedroom in trains. I saw the "Pajama Eaters" sometime ago and thought they were the coolest thing, but they didn't quite go with the train theme. They're made to hold pajamas that are somewhere in between fresh out of the dryer clean and time for being washed again.

I thought a train pillow with a pocket for PJs would be cute, and here it is!

I just Googled a silhouette of a train, printed it on two pieces of paper to make it larger, and used that for a pattern. I added wheels and the window to give it a little more detail.

Here's the exciting part though. If you turn the pillow over and look at the bottom...

You'll find a nice little pocket. Fold up those PJs in the morning after the little guy gets dressed...

...and put them in the pocket for safe keeping until bed time that night!

So cute and so handy!

I'm having a blast at these lovely linking parties.

Pillow By Day...Blanket By Night

Pillow By Day...

...Blanket By Night

My sister recently got married and my little guy was the ring bearer. My sister made him what we call a "quillow" for a thank you gift. Our "Bama" made these for all the grandkids when we were little. These nifty little blankets fold up into a pillow. They're simple but lovely.

On one side of the blanket has a pocket that is approximately 1/3 the width of the blanket.

To turn the blanket into the pillow, fold the blanket lengthwise in thirds with the folds behind the pocket.

Flip the blanket so the pocket is face  down and fold in half upward.

Fold in half again, so that the blanket is folded to the same size as the pocket.

Turn the pocket inside out so that the blanket is inside the pocket, and now you have a pillow!
