Easy Envelope Pillow Case

5/6/2015

0 Comments

 
These pillowcases or slipcovers are so quick and easy to sew that you will be wanting to make more. 

These are perfect pillowcases to make if you want to change your pillows base  on the season.

The best thing about these covers that can be removed and washed.

So, here how I made these...

You will need:

Pillow Form
Fabric of your choice

Thread
Measuring tape
Ruler
Pins
Scissors
Iron
Sewing Machine

First, measure your pillow and be careful not to press down on the pillow.

My pillow's measurements are 23"x23".

I like my pillowcase a little bit smaller than my pillow form, so, I didn't add a seam allowance so it will looks full with no empty space. 
 
From the top to the bottom is 23".
From the left to the right is 52" .

(I double the size of my pillow, 23 x 2 = 46, plus 6-inches for the hem for envelope opening and for overlap, so, I end up 52" in length).

Picture
Fold the edges of your fabric 1/2- inch and iron flat, then fold it over again 1/2-inch and iron it to create a clean hem. Hem the edges of your fabric. This will become your envelope opening.

Fold it into the shape for your pillowcase (right face together), allowing a 4-inches overlap of fabric on the back side of your pillow. Pin the open edges and stitch straight using 1/2-inch seam allowance, and zig zag to avoid fraying.

(Note: If your pillow is smaller than my pillow you can just use 2 to 3 inches  overlap of fabric on the back side of your pillow.)

Picture
Turn the pillowcase right side out, then stuff with your pillow. And you are done!

Here is the back envelope opening looks like.

Because, it is so easy to make I end up making six more pillowcases. :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Sewing!
