DIY THROW PILLOWS

Remember the chevron and paisley pillows from the Cheap Bedroom Makeover post?


Here's the easy tutorial.

Materials:  1/2 yard of fabric and (2) old pillows


Turn fabric inside out. Fold and insert pillow. Pin and cut off excess fabric.


Leave 1/2 inch seam allowance. See example:

(*not my finger)
Remember, you will only sew the (2) sides.
Keep the sewing machine foot close to the cut edge of your fabric.


After sewing the 2 sides, turn right side out and insert the pillow.


Cut off excess fabric and tuck the rough edges inside and pin.
Hand sew the last opening.


Using a needle and thread, start in the corner and sew the opening close.
It took me about 10 minutes to hand stitch it.


Voila!



Repeat steps.
