It's this simple... 2 1/5 yards of 60 inch fabric, and four standard pillows. I used Jersey Knit, fold your selvages under and sew them down.



Lay down inside out, folded over as a pillow sham is folded. But, just so a standard pillow will lay end to end across the folded fabric. Sew the ends closed.


Turn the long giant sham right side out. Lay out flat and nice, mark across at 21 inch intervals down to make your pillow cases for each one. It's 3 seams for four pillows. Sew on these marks across the right side of the fabric.


That's it! Slip your Standard pillows in and it's done.


They fold easy and can be tied with a ribbon to store or gift.

GREAT idea! .....but, DUH!, I'm confused (doesn't take much!) Saw how you did the envelope type back but when they are folded up I'm not seeing any pillows peeking out. What part did I miss (???????) before I start one and then find out I screwed up!
