How to make an envelope pillow!

During this blog, I will demonstrate how to make an envelope pillow! This is an easy way to create a decorative pillow without having to add a zipper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUPPLIES:

 

 

 

 

 

During this process, I used one yard of each fabric.

 

 

 

PROCESS:

 

The first step is to decide what size of pillow I wanted to create. I am needing some Euro pillows for my queen size bed so I made two Euros 28″ square.

 

  I started by cutting out the back pieces. I cut two pieces  20″ x 29″.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I then cut the front piece 29″ square.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Take the pieces you have cut out and serge the edges all the way around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I folded one edge of the a back piece under five and a half inches and then placed this over the other back piece covering five and a half inches also. This will give you a 29″ square once you have stitched this together.  Notice in the photo how many pins that I used to secure this together to make sewing easier.

 

 

 

 

 

  Pin the front to the back pieces and stitch around the perimeter of the 29″ square.  Since the back had been pinned with the fold in the back this perimeter stitch is all you have to sew to create the envelope pillow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I decided I wanted to add a two inch flange around the edge of my Euro. To do this step just measure two inches all the way around pin and using the straight stitch sew. This makes a beautiful pillow.

 

 

 

 

 

  Now you know how to create a envelope pillow with a flange edge.

 

Happy sewing until next time!!
