[…] My finished pillows are 18×18 inches, so I cut out an 18 1/2 inch square in the lighter fabric for the front of the pillow. The extra half inch is to allow for a quarter inch seam allowance all the way around. For the back, I chose to do an envelope closure, and cut out 2 pieces to overlap and still equal 18 1/2 inches squared. Read more about how to make an envelope closure here. […]
You make it look so easy!! Love you fabric – and that color! You'd be so proud, I'm buying a sewing maching next month! I'm getting domesticated! =)
This is just what I've been looking for! I've got the fabric, the pillows and the sewing machine; now I have instructions. Thank you.

Thank you for the tutorial. I love the pillow.
New follower from the Boost my blog Friday hop.
I got myself a sewing machine for Christmas and am, frankly, scared to death of it. With lots of u-tube video's, I managed to get it threaded and bobbin'ed and all that stuff. Managed to sew some curtain panels together. And that's pretty much it… This actually looks like something I could (should) be able to do! ~Following from the Boost my Blog Friday Hop.

You make this look so easy! I might get the courage to try this sometime this week!
I love that fabric. I have the same fabric in aqua in my daughter's room. Thanks for sharing at my Sizzle into Summer party.
Sew easy! Thanks for the idea and thank you for linking to Wicked Awesome Wednesday!
Thanks for sharing how to do this – I am not a great sewer so your instructions are helpful.
Great tutorial! I was so bad at sewing the holes closed on my first pillows that I'm really thinking the envelope is the way to go…I'll definitely bookmark this!
Oh, and I love your fabric!
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I just need to suck it up and try it myself :)
I used the same tutorial for my first set of pillow cases. Such a great one for first time sewers! Thanks for sharing.
How cute!

Thanks for the tutorial! :) I cut out fabric about 9 years ago to make some the same… but I was too chicken to sew them. (I only just started sewing recently) You have inspired me to pull them out and give it a shot! :)
I love this tutorial! And the fabric you used. :) I featured your project on my Terrific Under Ten Tuesday! http://athomewithk.blogspot.com/2011/08/terrific-under-ten-tuesday-25.html
LOVE the fabric. More the Merrier Monday will be open until Wednesday at midnight. I would love for you to stop by and link up your pillow. http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/
Pretty pillow and easy to follow tutorial! Thank you for linking with Air Your Laundry Friday! xo Jami
Projects are beautiful. Lovely DL Envelopes Background.
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial! I just finished covering 2 pillows for my daughter’s bed using your instructions and they look great…best ones I ever made.
When you sew them together which pieces are you doing? After you do uoi initial “hem”. Thanks.
Anyone know a good online fabric site?
I used to buy all my fabric from fabric.com, they used to always have great coupons. They stopped about a year ago and now I like onlinefabricstore.net
Oh my gosh, I think you just saved my sanity! I have been wanting to experiment with using embroidery quilt blocks as throw pillows, but was unsure how to sew everything together while still being able to take the pillow form out and clean the case by itself. This is exactly what I was looking for, just didn’t know the terminology of “envelope”
