The Brother sewing machine has come in and I’ve spent the last week going sew crazy! I’ve wanted plain tan/beige pillows but in my search they were all over priced and I knew I could do it for less. So I headed to JoAnn fabrics and purchased standard canvas cotton fabric. For the pillows I did an open sleeve. Here are some photos of the process:
For a 18×18 Pillow follow this how to:
1. Cut a 20×20 square of fabric. Then cut a 23×23
2. Cut the 23×20 piece in to 13×20 and 10×20
3. Fold one end of the the 13×20 and of 10×20 one inch down.
4. Sew the folds on each piece.
5. Match up the ends of the larger piece of fabric (9×20) with the larger 20×20 piece. Sew along the three edges to seal.
6. Repeat step 5 with the 12×20 piece, creating the sleeve.
7. Flip the pillow cover right side out and put in your pillow insert.
Finished product:
On the couch! (sorry about the terrible pic! When I was done the sun was down and natural light wasn’t an option)
Next up is the gorgeous coffee table turned bench with matching pillow!
