Free Directions to Sew Envelope Back Pillow Covers

By Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide

These directions are designed to save you the expense of new pillows. Use them as "slip covers" for your throw pillows.

Materials needed:

• Fabric needed for standard sizes
  • 12" Pillow - Fabric 12" by 28"
  • 14" Pillow - Fabric 14" by 32"
  • 16" Pillow - Fabric 16" by 36"
  • 18" Pillow - Fabric 18" by 40"
• thread

Note: The cutting directions do not add a seam allowance so that the finished pillow cover is a little smaller than the form and creates a "plump" pillow with no empty space.
