Pretty Pillows

So... my mommy hated the way the pillows on her couch looked. And what's worse is, all of us agreed. Moss green and brown tartan? No thanks. (Brizee: I concur!) We don't have pictures of the before, but here's after I got to them!


They're double-sided and beautiful! It's easy to give any throw pillow a lovely makeover-
Here's how!
  • Measure the pillows. Add one inch for seam allowance on each side (because most pillows are square.)
  • Cut the fabric to whatever size you need it. You should have two pieces of fabric per pillow. Make sure it's one inch too big on each side.
  • Flip the fabric with the right sides facing each other and sew up three of the sides. Flip the pillowcase right-side out.
  • Put the pillow in it.
  • Sew it closed. (you can hand or machine stitch this. It will show the stitches either way. 
  • Enjoy!
Optional- You can put a zipper on the case instead of sewing it closed.
 That's all for now!
