This throw pillow is so simple to make. To really understand how easy it is, I whipped out a stopwatch and timed the project from start to finish. It took 5 minutes and 38 seconds. Serious. Plus, you can remove the pillow and toss the cover in the wash, making this DIY project a perfect accessory for the camper.
Supplies: Fabric, Scissors, Iron + Board, Ruler (Rotary Cutter + Mat optional), Stitch Witchery, Pins, Sewing Machine, Pillow Form
Cut a piece of fabric ½ - 1 inch wider and 2½ times the length of the pillow form.
For a 14 x 14 pillow form, my fabric was 14½ " wide x 35" long (14" front and back + 7" flap).
On the short sides, fold down ¾" and press. Cut a piece of Stitch Witchery the same length and insert into fold. Press 10-15 seconds until the fabric is fused. Repeat on other end.
On one side, fold your fabric down 7 inches (or ½ of the length of your pillow), right side in, and press. This is your flap.
Fold the other end of your fabric up, right side in, about 14" or the length of your pillow, and press. This edge should meet the fold of the flap you just made. Pin both sides.
Sew up both sides with a ½ seam allowance. Trim the corners of your fabric, so the corners will lay nicely. Turn inside out, and insert pillow form.
