Making a throw pillow with a zipper closure isn\u2019t as hard as you may think. With a few simple seams (in fact, you could sew this pillow cover entirely by hand if you want), a couple of hours, and not much fabric you can transform your couch, bench, camper, or thrown from ok to fabulously cushy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use just about any fabric so this is a great project to use smaller pieces that you love, or sentimental fabrics that you\u2019re not quite sure what to do with like your grandmother\u2019s lace napkins or your grown child\u2019s old baby quilt (Just think, it becomes a pillow for their place and out of your closet)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fabric I used for my pillows is designed by a friend of mine, Lisa Smith of Poem Crown<\/a>. Lisa is an artist who currently puts her art on facemasks and pillowcases; turning your bed into a gallery, basically. Check them out on her site PoemCrown.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa also sells some of her simpler designs, like this one, on her Spoonflower<\/a> page. Through Spoonflower you can have her designs printed on a wide variety of fabrics depending on what your project is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m using Spoonflower\u2019s Performance Linen which is actually polyester but perfect for throw pillows and other upholstery items. It\u2019s durable, washable, soft and it looks like linen in the best way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walk you through making this pillow in my video. However, if you prefer to read the steps, please read on. I’ve written them out in detail with lots of pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
