Sew Easy: Pillow Cover DIY Tutorial

We're starting to get settled in the new place and now adding some finishing touches.  One of the items I wanted to update were some old pillow covers.

Easy Pillow Cover DIY Tutorial w/ Envelope Closure

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 30 minutes

Materials:

• 1 yard of fabric (this one is Premier Prints Penmanship) for 2 18x18" pillow cases

How to:

• Cut rectangle of fabric for your desired pillow size and add 7" on one side
• I wanted my finished pillows to be 18x18" so cut a rectangle 18x25"
• Hem your short edges.

• Fold your rectangle into a square with overlapping edges (this is where the extra length is used) and sew down the sides

• Snip each corner right above your sewn edge so that when flipped outwards, the corners will be crisp instead of slumped inwards from the excess material

• Turn inside out and stuff - you're done!
