You will need:
2 pieces of coordinating (or same) fabric measuring 11" x 6" (for comforter)
2 pieces of coordinating (or same) fabric measuring 3.5" x 6" (for pillow)
a piece of some sort of batting (I used an old towel) measuring 11" x 6"
some poly-fil stuffing for the pillow
a needle
thread
scissors
a sewing machine is optional but it does make things go much faster
For the pillow:
Need 2 pieces of fabric measuring 3.5" x 6" each
Stack rectangles with right sides of fabric facing each other
Pin and sew 1/4" from edges, leaving 1-1.5" open so you will be able to turn fabric inside out
Carefully cut corners of rectangle, this will help corners look nicer
Turn pillow inside out, can poke corners out with a stuffing tool, pencil, or chopsticks
Place stuffing in corners first, fill pillow to desired firmness
Using a needle and thread, sew the pillow shut
Now for the comforter! :)
Get 2 pieces of fabric measuring 11" x 6" and place right sides together and place piece of batting/towel underneath
Pin together and sew 1/4" seam around all layers, leaving about an inch and a half unsewn so you will be able to turn comforter inside out
Trim corners, careful not to cut the seams
Now this is a little tricky (but so cool!!), reach in between the two right sides of fabric and pull inside out
Poke corners using fingers or a stuffing tool
Using a needle and thread, sew the opening closed
Here are the completed reversible/matching pillow and comforter:
