I finally finished my pillow cases and cover for the daybed! I have been working on this project for a while, due to procrastination! It only took me 30-45 min per pillow case so I could have done this months ago...
Here is the final product:
 |
| I got a little worried half way through that the print may be too much to have on the cover and pillow cases, but I think it actually looks good to have that print on everything. |
Here is how I made the pillow cases:
I bought the fabric at Hancock Fabrics, before they started going out of business- so sad :(
First, I measured my pillow that I needed to cover
 |
| I measured height, width, and length to determine how to cut my fabric. |
Next, I marked and cut my fabric
 |
| I put marks all down the fabric to get a straight line when I cut it. |
I did not know how to make the pillow case from there, so I placed the pillow on the fabric and wrapped in in different ways to determine how I was going to sew it.
 |
| Tip: Iron your fabric! It will make it much easier and even. |
Once I figured out how to sew the pillow case, I pinned the sides and started sewing
 |
| This is one of the folds that will meet in the middle of the back side of the pillow case. |
 |
| Thesis what I sewed in the picture above. |
I then sewed the sides together (with the fabric inside out) and here's the final product!
This was a really fun project and now I want to make more and more pillow cases! And this time, I'll try not to procrastinate so much!
