For this tutorial is for a simple rectangular pillow.
you will need:
A 8 1/2 x 14 inch piece of paper (or a measuring tape and sewing chalk)
Two large scraps of your favorite fabrics
A sewing machine
thread
scissors (fabric & paper ones)
Polyester stuffing
This is a fun easy project for any skill level,
I started out with a 8 1/2 x 14 inch piece of paper and pinned it to my desired Fabric (if you do not have this size of paper, just Measure this amount and mark it with sewing chalk or a pencil). after you have pinned on your "pattern" to the fabric, cut around the edges of the paper (like a pattern). After you remove the pattern from the fabric, measure 2 1/2 inches on the edge of the paper pattern and cut with your paper scissors. pin this strip of paper to your alternating fabric, cut 2. Now cut both of your 8 1/2 x 14 inch piece of fabric lengthwise 3 inches from the edge. Now you are done cutting! you should have two 2 1/2 inch alternating fabric strips and your now four pieces of fabric (that were originally two 8 1/2 x 14 inch pieces). . Now for more pinning! pin two pieces of fabric (now 11 inches & 3 inches) wrong side up to both sides of the alternating strip (also do this with the other 11 and 3 inch pieces and strip) Now sew where you pinned. Now you should have two pieces of fabric, both with a alternating fabric strip sewn into them. Now for the easy part! sew the two pieces of your pillow, wrong sides togeather; this will create both sided of your pillow. Leave a small opening wide enough for you do turn your pillow rightside out and stuff with the polyester stuffing. now sew up the small opening! you are done!!!
