I love to make these pillows because they are so easy and the possibilities are endless. They are washable, too! You can mix and match fabrics and add fun embellishments like trim or fabric flowers.

Once you get the hang of making them you can add them to every room and switch them out whenever the mood hits!

Directions:

  1. Cut your fabric to the sizes according to the chart above. Cut one panel and two back panels.
  2. On the back panels, turn one of the wide edges of each piece under 1/4", iron, and then turn under 1/4" again. Iron again and stitch down. This will form the hems for the envelope back.
  3. Lay the back panels on to the front panel, right sides together, lining up the raw edges and corners. Pin the panels together. Stitch together using a 1/2" seam.
  4. Turn right side out and stuff with the pillow form.
