Easy Pillow Covers

Since I made new curtains for my dining room, I've been wanting to update the pillows in the adjoining living room.  I knew there had to be a way to make simple pillow covers, but just hadn't taken the time to figure it out.

 
Last week, MoneySavingMom posted about this tutorial on her blog and I was hooked.  These pillow covers were not only easy, but they were fast, and used my existing pillows as pillow forms.  No kidding- it took me less than one hour to re-do all these pillows (I made a total of six covers from the leftover fabric of my curtains).


I love that there are no raw edges, no hand sewing and no stuffing involved in these pillows.  It's just a simple pocket for your existing pillows!

    I used fabric napkins to make pillow covers, so easy just stitch all the way around, and leave a gap at the bottom large enough to get the form in. I've score great looks from Target as they change with the season, for as low as $1.48!
