A Quick Pillow Tutorial...Little to No Sew

You know I rarely through something away without thinking twice about it. Well, this project is the perfect example of that. I hope you can use this one too!!

A quick, almost no sew pillow

Earlier this year, I did a tutorial about making lined drapes for Courtney's room from a duvet cover. You can click HERE for the curtain tutorial.

This is the package the duvet cover came in...a fabric bag.

This is a pouch type bag. Some sheet sets come in fabric bags like this too. This one has 2 cute buttons on the side!!

A bag already sewn....hmmm, what to make with this?

Easy peasy pillow. Just stuff it.

Pin the opening closed.

Then do a whip stitch to close the opening. You can make it NO sew by hot gluing it or using iron on tape.

 All done, but it needs something...maybe a ribbon.

or some buttons for decoration.

This will be a cute addition to Courtney's room...click HERE to see Courtney's room re-do if you missed it.

These little pillows are great for your neck while resting on the couch, back support in a chair or for the kids in the car.

Spread the word with friends and family to save the fabric bags when they buy new sheets or bedding.

Have a great day,

  2. I have saved a couple of those bags. I was thinking they would make an easy purse lining. Pillows is GOOD!! Thanks for the idea.

  6. They make a great bag for ice/hot packs too. Fill with rice or beans or whatever the tutorials say.
    A pillow pack with a purpose. Great for a gift pack or first aid kits for athletes or to keep in the car.
