SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
DIRECTIONS:(one pillow)
Cut one square 18”X18” for the front of the pillow.
Cut 2 pieces 13”X18” for the back of the pillow.
On the two back pieces, finish one 18” edge by folding the edge 1/2" twice, pressing the fold and top stitching along the fold.
On your worksurface, lay the 18”X18” square front with the right side facing up.
Take one of the back pieces and place it face down on top of the front, so that the right sides of the fabric are touching. The unfinished 18” edge should line up with the side edge of the front piece, and the finished edge should be in the middle of the fabric.
Take the second back piece and place it face down on top of the other back and front, so that unfinished 18” edge lines up with the opposite side edge of the front piece, and the finished edge overlaps the other back piece in the center by several inches.
Pin and sew around all 4 sides using 1/2" seam allowance.
Trim the corners by clipping diagonally across the seam allowance in each corner. Do not cut through any stitching.
Turn the pillow cover right side out through the back flap.
Use a dull, pointed object or point turner to poke out each corner.
Insert an 18” pillow form.
- 5/8yd fabric
- 18" pillow form
- Thread

- Sewing machine

Needs a little more information
These instructions are “ok” but they need a little bit more to help the student out. Maybe some pictures would help.

Envelope-Easy Peasy
For Kimmi...the idea is the "envelope" portion is a flap in the back becomes an opening through which you insert your foam cushion. No need for a zipper or other closure. The 2 back pieces just overlap. The exposed back piece has a finished edge - that's the one you place, face down, first with the unfinished one last just before stitching all around the 4 sides. Trim, turn, stuff. I've made lots of these. Easy peasy. Yes, maybe directions are missing a little explanation of this...or a picture of the back showing how that works would be worth a lot!

Envelope pillow
I think some of the instructions were left out....should the front piece have been cut like an envelope flap, can a button be attached etc etc. Picturess would have been nice to go along with this.
