Sew Easy: Pillow Cover DIY Tutorial (SewPetiteGal)

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!

Easy update! :)
