But alas, my pillow tutorial plans were foiled by the rain. My tutorial photos looked like they were taken in a old folks home. (Sorry, old folks.) I only had the chance to take finished product pics in the sun. But that is ok! Because we live in a magical Internet age where one can find tutorials on anything and everything. I even used the tutorials I’m linking to as a reference in my own magical, pillow-making journey.
1. Closed Pillow: This tutorial from HGTV shows how to create the easiest pillow of the bunch. But like the name says, the cover stays closed, so washing is a no-no.
2. Open-ended Pillow: It’s the closed pillow, but you leave one end open. Do ya’ll really need a tutorial for that? I also sewed a bit of lace on the end to finish it and create that grandmama-look.
3. Envelope Pillow: This beginner DIY from a fellow Melanie shows how to make a beautiful, polished, washable pillow case. I love her precision!
4. Zippered Pillow: I adore this tutorial. It’s in-depth without being overwhelming.
Let’s get crafty, ya’ll!
love,

Being that I am a granny I do like the floral and lace..
Roberta, thanks! I’m not even a grandma and I like it!
As a new member of the sewing world, I appreciate this post. The simple pillow has been my “go to” project and I think it is time I step out of my comfort zone. Thanks!
you are welcome! thanks for the comment. pillows are fairly easy to make and are way cheaper than the store-bought ones! let me know if you try it, i’d love to see the finished product.
I always plan on making pillows (or cases) and then I never do… all of these look pretty enough to make me try again!
thank you! i’d love to see your attempt! you are so crafty, i know it would turn out great!
Hello! I love how you’ve got all of the pillow styles organized on one page. I’m going to be writing a blog on stencilling your own pillows, I hope you don’t mind if I link back to this great post! 🙂
I’d appreciate it! Thanks!
