No Sew Pillow Slip Covers!

Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by, please take a moment to become a follower, would love to hear from you all!

I seem to be always sewing for other people, (sound familiar?)

So, I thought I would share what I do when there is no time to sew for the house , and I need

a quick fix around the house for the holidays or company coming over.

This is how "I", recover or slipcover in a hurry!

 

 

This is one of my pillows in the parlor,

It starts with this linen jacket/coat given to me for the fabric,

It has beautiful cabbage roses on it, most every room in my house has this theme,

Here is the pillow,

 

I unbutton the coat and put the pillow inside,

 

Now button up the coat, this coat just happens to fit this pillow really well,

Fold and tuck in the bottom under itself, you could pin this closed after you tuck it

in , however it somehow stays tucked in without having to do that,

Here is the final tuck and fold,

The collar on the coat stays the same,

 

Now I took the sleeves and did a first tie, across the top of the pillow

and you want to tie again for the knot, making sure you tie the second time "leading" with the

"top" strand to make a "square" knot,

 

Fluff out the knot to make it more square, and you are done,

It took maybe 5 minutes? And people love the look and always amazed at

what I have used to do this.  Haha!

 

I also use large pieces of fabric, that I haven't sewn up yet for other pillows, I will have

a tutorial on those next time,

Hope you find this fun!



Just in time for Mothers Day!
