Pillow Tutorial!!!

FIRST:
I went on Ebay and found this 'Yoda-Master Jedi' Pillow front. It measured about 17 1/2" X 18" and I cut it down to 16 1/2" X 16 1/2"

NEXT:
I purchased 1/2 yard of black fabric (coordinates with front). *Be sure to wash both the black fabric and the pillow front before sewing to allow shrinking before sewing it together!!

THIRD:
Cut two pieces of the black fabric 16 1/2" wide. Fold over the top edge two times, 3" each fold. This should make each black piece, after the folds, about 16 1/2" X 11". Pin the folds down and sew a 1/4" seam at the top of the fold and the bottom of the fold (as pictured).




*Be sure that when you lay both backing pieces over the pillow front, that it lines up exactly with the pillow front. It will look as pictured above.

You will pin the right sides together and sew a 1/2" seam all the way around. *As pictured.

Snip the corners, being careful NOT to snip the seam you sewed. This helps make a pointy corner when turned inside right. After snipping corners, flip your pillow case inside right.

Now you can put your 'Yoda-Master Jedi' pillow case on your pillow!! *I purchased my pillow at Walmart, in the Sewing/Crafts section, for under $10!!

HAPPY SEWING!!!!
