{ front fold throw pillow }

I got a new couch! YAY! But the pillows I had on my old couch

are WAY too big for this couch. So I made some cute little ones

to replace them!

What you'll need:

1. Fabric
2. Scissors
3. Sewing machine

Cut 1 piece of fabric 22 inches X 16 1/2 inches.

Then cut a second piece 25 1/2 inches X 16 1/2 inches.

Starting with you larger piece of fabric, measure in from the left
side 10 inches. Make a straight cut through your fabric so that

you now have a 10 inch piece and a 16 inch piece.

You will be hemming the edges you just cut. Fold the edge of
your smaller piece over half an inch and sew it down. Set it

aside.

On your lager piece of fabric, fold the edge over 1 inch and

sew along the very edge of the fabric and again along the edge

of the fold. This is mostly for looks!

Now overlap your hemmed edges, right sides up, so that the double

stitched edge is on top. Overlap 2 inches. Secure them

together with a 1/8 inch seam on the sewing machine..

Now you should have a single piece again that measures

the same as your other original piece.

You can sew these two pieces together now. Lay one on top

of the other, right sides together. You can pin them if you like. Sew
around the entire pillow with a 1/4 inch seam making sure to

back stitch at beginning and end.

Cut the corners off. This makes your corners look nice

once you've turned it out. DON'T cut your stitch!

Turn it out through the fold on your altered side!

Now stuff it

Then, using a needle and thread, sew the folds together

with a simple stitch! Add buttons!
