WHAT IS A READING PILLOW?

A reading pillow is a scatter cushion, with an extra pocket inserted in the front, to hold a book/s.The buzz is not about the pillow itself. It is about the fabric combinations, the finishing touches and the heart that you have put into it.

  1. What a wonderful idea. I love it 🙂 I’m not crafty at all, but if I saw these for sale I would definitely buy one for me and one for a gift – probably more! It’s such a novel idea (I think) and so full of Hygge. Thank you, by the way, for visiting Lifestyle Fifty yesterday. I appreciated your comments 🙂
