No-Sew Pillows

Today I made a no-sew pillow with fabric I purchased from Ikea.  I keep seeing funky pillows on Pinterest that people have made so I decided to go for it...

Here's how:

Step 1: Cut two pieces of fabric. I suggest leaving 3/4 inch of extra fabric around the border. You can also use the old pillow case as a pattern. 

Step 2: Place one piece of fabric pattern face up. Line the border with Stitch Witchery (I  purchased a roll from Walmart). Leave an opening on one end. Place the second piece of fabric face down. 

Step 3: Set your iron to high heat steam. Place a damp cloth over the Stitch Witchery.  Hold the iron on a section for 15-20 seconds. Repeat until you've ironed the entire border. You should have one opening.
**Please be careful with this step. The cloth becomes extremely hot**

Ste 4: Once the fabric has cooled down, turn the pillow case right side out.  Stuff the pillow insert or batting into the opening. 

Step 5: Using straight pins, fold over the edges of the opening and pin in small strips of Stitch Witchery . Iron with the damp cloth. After the fabric has cooled, remove the pins.



And there you have it, an easy way to update a pillow!
