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.
