Supplies

• 1 yard of fabric
• 1 pillow (19 x 19)
• Sewing Supplies (sewing machine, thread, pins, marker, measuring tape)
• Yard Stick
• Ironing Board & Iron

Directions

Before you begin Iron your fabric. This is the first step and really helps create crisp, clean lines while sewing. Next cut your fabric to fit your pillow. If you’re using the suggested 19x19 pillow, the fabric measurements should be 42” long by 20.5” wide.

Next fold the fabric in ¼” on each of the side and iron to stay secure. Once ironing is done, fold the fabric in half - it should make a perfect square. Use sewing machine to sew around 3 sides, leaving one side open to insert the pillow. Once pillow is inserted, add a ¼” seam to the last open side.

Viola! Your very own DIY throw pillow! These pillows are so easy to make and significantly cheaper than buying one at a store. Try mixing and matching various patterns for a colorful look for Spring!
