Waverize It! The Easy DIY Pillow Cover
by

(IC: blogger)
How-To:1. Lay your 2 yards of fabric flat on the ground and fold in half.2. Lay your pillows over the folded fabric with the edge against the fold.3. Measure your pillow, turn fabric inside out (non-pattern side showing) and mark your measurements on the fabric. I made 2 sets of measurements. One set that was an inch longer than the pillow (aka the cutting measurements), and another set that was the exact measurement of the pillow (aka the sewing measurement). For example: These pillows were 26x26 inches and I was working with a fold. My cutting measurements were 28x27 (because of the fold). My sewing measurements were 26x26. See diagram below if this sounds confusing.4. Leave your fabric inside out (non-pattern side showing) and cut along your "cutting" measurements.5. Sew the two adjoining sides of the fold (along your "sewing" measurements) and leave one side open6. Turn fabric back to where the pattern side is now showing. Insert the pillow into the open side.7. With your open side, fold the fabric in and pin it closed.8. With the pillow inside, sew the pillow shut. (The fold side will end up being the top of the pillow)
