Sewing pillows

[TrickyBob]

I've made pillows and pillow cases before. What sort of thing are you looking for?

Ditto the above questions!

I sew! I often use a quilt pattern for the front of my pillow, but there are some good decorative pillow tutorials in blogland.

This is the simplest pattern out there:

This is more complicated, but super cool:

I like this type of hidden zipper as compared to sewing an invisible zipper in the seam, because I never find that works out 100% for me:

Oh yeah - if you want good and well stuffed pillows, you always want to make your pillow cover at least a 1/2" smaller than your pillow form.

So if you have a 20" x 20" pillow form, make the final dimensions of your cover 19.5" x 19.5" (at most). I often go down a whole inch if the pillow form is flatter.

www.sew4home.com is a good resource.

Martha Stewart online has a great quick pattern online adaptable for any size and with 3 closure options. I can't link on my phone but if you Google you'll find it. I like an envelope closure with added buttons since it's easy to remove and wash and then the buttons can be an added decorative element.

I've made plenty if envelope pillow cases for pillow forms. I take the easy route. I measure the pillow form, add .5 inch extra to both measurements. Cut and see leaving .25 inch on each side. I don't love sewing button holes or zippers.

ETA: I'm terrible at instructions.  This is an easy tutorial  thehappyhousie.com/?p=3061
