Part of the living room redo has been to get all new throw pillows for the couch, and since throw pillows are ridiculously expensive ($30 for one pillow, really?), I've decided to make my own.
This is a very simple tutorial to make a very simple pillow. I like my pillows to have a removable cover with a zipper so I can throw them in the wash quickly. You know, kids.
I like the insert to fit in snugly. If you want the cover to be a bit looser, I would up your cut sizes a quarter inch or so.
Also, your zipper can be larger, but not smaller than your pieces.
Plus, it would be super easy to modify this project by sewing on buttons, embroidery, ribbon, embellishments, or anything really. I would just do it before you assemble the pieces.
Hope you liked my little tutorial!

ReplyDeleteCute pillow! I NEED to get a sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteThese are actually SO cute. I love the material you chose for your pillow! I wish I was more crafty (and had more time) to do these kinds of things. I'd have so much fun with it! Once I'm done school, I'm adding to my to-do list "be more crafty" lol. :D

ReplyDeleteyou make this look so easy, I'd probably find a way to mess it up though haha
ReplyDeletelove how you did the zipper. I tend to wing things and have screwed up a couple zippers.... and i've only done a couple so thats a bad track record :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I am so lazy when it comes to adding zippers to projects. But this tutorial makes it all look easy. I'm going to try it out.
