Jo-Ann has kindly send me some beautiful pieces to make something for my readers. So I decided to start by making some new toss pillow covers. Since these were covers, I placed a zipper on the bottom of the cushions for easy cleaning. If your are doing these using an old pillow, measure it but remember to add 1/2 inch to each side for seam purposes. For the zipper, I just followed this easy tutorial.
These were very easy to do. The fabric feels strong and resistant which is a good thing to keep in mind when one has children around the house. I love the colors and patterns because they can be mix and match with so many other things and in so many places. Here you'll see how I placed them in my room over my bed, but also in my sofa and they were a delight to look at.
