Hey there! Today I'm going to show you how to make these super cute AND easy slipcovers. These envelope covers are great because they slip right off and are easy to wash. I promise that anyone who owns a sewing machine can do this. 🙂 You'll only need a few things to get started.

How to Make an Envelope Pillow Cover in 20 Minutes

Supplies:

• Riley Blake Sunny Happy Skies Fabric
• Scissors or rotary cutter
• Thread
• Sewing Machine
• Pins

  

Directions:

Measure your pillow to determine the size of fabric you will need. Here's an easy formula my MIL taught me. Length = (pillow's size x 2)+3", Width = pillows size + 3". Once you have determined the size of your fabric cut out the rectangle shape.

Step 2: Hem both of your SHORT edges 1/2 inch.

Step 3: Fold your fabric in half, right sides together.

Step 4: Fold your other edge in, overlapping the first fold. It should overlap about 2-3 inches. Pin sides.

Step 5: Sew both ends shut (make sure not to close the middle—just the ends).

Flip the cover right side out and stuff your pillow in. See, that wasn't too bad. You'll be making some fabulous pillows in no time at all. Once you get started, you just can't stop. Especially with all the cute fabrics at Riley Blake Designs. 😉
