Last night I tried to make a reading pillow. I love the concept, you lay it on your lap and the ribbon on the corners will hold your book open so you can read hands free, but this one was a big flop lol. If the book isn’t the perfect size it won’t stay and the bookmark is too short. I’m not disappointed, I know what to change on the next one to make it completely functional, and this one will fit most of Shelby’s books, so in my “gift drawer” it goes!
