Do you have pillow shams that match a duvet or comforter you don’t use? If you use other type of pillows and store the shams that came with your bedding this blog might be for you!! I am going to show you a way you can make throw pillow covers.

I took two pillow shams that matches a duvet I recently purchased for our Master bedroom, (I will be sharing soon) for now I am going to change the shams to throw pillows.
The pillow shams are an envelope type covers so this will be very easy to convert to a smaller size.
I measured down one side to the length of the pillow form I will be using, adding 1 ½ inches for seam allowance and decorative stitching. Pinning for a cut line.
I cut along the pinned line with my scissors.
Turning the sham inside out, ripping out the side seams about 2 inches to be able to lay the two pieces flat together. I stitched a basic stitch across the pillow cover.
Turning the pillow cover outside in, I stitched a basic stitch to continue the decorative stitching around the new edge.
As simple as that I have two pillows for the look I want. It took me less than 30 minutes for the two pillows. I will be sharing the Master bedroom’s bedding refresh soon. Stay tune!!

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Cute! I have made pillows and covers for years – an inexpensive way to change a look in a room!
I agree Patti. Pillows are so inexpensive and makes a room look totally cute. Thank you!
How I wish I learned to sew. It annoys me every time someone posts a sewing project.
Especially pillows. I should have learned.

Cindy I am sure you would be able to sew. Most of the things I do are just basic stitches nothing fancy. If you ever want to try just let me know I can walk with you through your first pillow girlfriend!
