Home Dec ... pillow covers 101
I was doing a bit of sprucing up around the house today. Painted some trim on a couple of interior doors and had to do an exterior one too. Then I decided to change the look of my couch pillows. I had found some fabric in my stash that looked to be a match to the pillow I bought from Kelli and it actually wasn't just 1/4 of a yard! It is enough to do all three of my couch pillows. I hardly ever do any home dec sewing. I made these so the existing pillow slips inside. I saw these all the time at the quilt shop I used to work in but never saw how they made them. I didn't know what I was doing but it worked out fine.
Before
After
This ought to liven the place up a bit!!!
The back piece is actually two pieces of fabric and they have an overlap - that's where the pillow slips in. I'll show you ...
If you want to know how to make these leave a comment and I'll do a photo tutorial when I make the next one.
Nice pillows...beautifully matched. We doll makers tend to buy fat quarters...glad you found you had a lot of one color. I made about 2 dozen pillow cases for my DD...I won't make a another pillow for a long long time.

Posted by: Kai at June 12, 2007 1:55 AMThe pillows are lovely and sometimes it is nice to do something entirely different from crafting. You feel rejuvenated once you do that.
Posted by: shashi at June 12, 2007 9:25 AMOoooooo like the new pillow cover. Your doing what I have been thinking about doing. Need to feel more grateful for the house I have........!
Posted by: Sandra Walker at June 12, 2007 10:08 AMVery rich-looking, Judi! I haven't made cushion covers in ages! Love the one you bought, too.
