How to make your very own amazing, decorative pillow cover!
Steps
- Find a nice fabric that you like. Choose one which has a nice design or bright colours.
- Measure the fabric and cut it to the size you want.
- Iron the fabric to remove all creases.
- Tack the sides together to secure them in place.
- Sew the sides together, but leave approximately 5 inches unsewn for you to turn the pillow case the right way and to stuff the case.
- Once you have sewn the case, put your hand in it and turn it so the design is on the outside.
- Stuff the case with stuffing; you can buy it from craft shops. If not use old cut-off fabric.
- Free hand sew the 5 inches left to close the gap, so no stuffing will come out.
- Put your pillow on display.
Tips
- You could use an old favorite t-shirt to give your pillow a good look.
- Print a photo onto photo fabric to give your pillow a more personalized look to give to family members on special occasions.
- Use fabric glue instead of sewing if it's easier.
Warnings
- It is always better to wear glasses when using on a sewing machine.
- Make sure fabric is clean if you get it from a charity shop.
