Bright D.I.Y Pillow Cover To Brighten Up My Space

 
 
 
 
Hello, today I wanted to share my  first attempt at doing a D.I.Y pillow cover . I don't know how to sew on a zipper, so I figured another way to try this without to much work. I am not good with the sowing machine. I can only do a straight line. Totally new to me, but I watched some videos on You Tube and that helped. I tried to show how I did this, but I'm really sorry about the blurry pictures. I did all the sewing at night when my kiddos were sleeping. I'll try to get better pictures in the future. so here are the instruction's for this simple pillow cover.
 
 

I took this fabric color that I already had and really wanted to use. It really brightened up my livingroom. The white pillow cover was purchased at ikea for 3 dollars.


I left about an inch to each side to fold in and sew. Then I gave them a good ironing. Then I just folded the sides in and started to sew.



 
 
 
 
 That's it not to hard, just a little bit of work holding the fabric down. This is my first time doing this, like I said. I think it turned out good. Not to bad, and the best thing of course is that I can take out the insert and wash the cover.
 
 
 
 

I also wanted to share a close up of my flowers that my husband planted for me. He knows I love flowers and he wanted me to enjoy them inside.
 
 I really like how much more color it brought into my space. I'm ready for summer. Are you ready for summer? what are you doing to your space? comment I love to hear from you.

  5. Genius Angie!! Amo hacer fundas intercambiables de cojines pero no se me había ocurrido esta forma facil de hacerlos. Esta genial la idea por si tienes por ahi un pedacito de tela en casa y no te alcanza para la funda completa. The color is fantastic!
