I found a great tutorial at Twelve Crafts Till Christmas. She made everything from scratch... body, tail, and head.

Buy list:
25" fleece
velcro
stuffed animal
1. Cut the head and tail off the stuffed animal. Then wash them in a pillow case, so the stuffing doesn't get everywhere.
2. Follow the tutorial found HERE. Follow the tutorial, but instead of leaving a head hole, leave a small opening on the side opposite of the fleece strip.
3. Turn right side out and sew the head on. I had to stuff the pillow a little bit, so I could get the placing just right, then I sewed the head on by hand. Make sure it is secure and looks good before stuffing the pillow. Refer to this tutorial HERE.
4. After you stuff the pillow, sew the little opening up by hand or machine.
Now you got yourself a pillow pet.
Some of them have been named:
The cat is named LoLo
The tiger is named Biter
The elephant is named Horton
No, I did not name them...
Only stuffed animals were harmed in the making of these Pillow Pets.

What a great idea.. My kids wanted them but I was the same way. They were kind of small. I didn't think they looked that cute either for 20.00 dollars. Thanks for sharing... Something to put on the list to do for 2011. Happy New Year...
Once I thought about things like: why such information is for free here? Because when you write a book then at least on selling a book you get a percentage. Thank you and good luck on informing people more about it! toy
