If you like to stuff, I guess "overstuff", the pillows like I do, you can always add a piece of velcro in the middle of the back flap. Or you can do as I like to do and just put a little safety pin on since I do like to stuff nice oversized feather pillow inserts in side. <br />Nice to see you!Donna, The Decorated Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772637069933752736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-43455874561493926512015-05-29T15:35:43.935-04:002015-05-29T15:35:43.935-04:00Thanks for sharing this method with us.

I think your method of stitching around where the pillow is actually going to be would fix that problem and make the pillow back stay shut better.

So the piece of fabric is 20" by 44". I hope you give it a try. It's a quick and easy change.

If the pillow is 18" I would think that 36" is not even enough, as it would barely cover both sides, with no allowance for seams or envelope. It must be a typo. Could you please clarify? <br />Thank yoususan718https://www.blogger.com/profile/10281745184225186748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-17409929390141308732012-08-21T15:54:05.984-04:002012-08-21T15:54:05.984-04:00Thanks for a great easy way to make the envelope p...Thanks for a great easy way to make the envelope pillow!

I'll have to see if I can find something like that. Maybe Hobby lobby when they have their decorator fabric 30% off the roll ends on sale. Hope I can find something similiar soon.<br />The way you made your pillow is how I've been making pillow covers for years, alot quicker and lesssewing.I have put some trim on either side before I started sewing and it turns out great.<br />I get tired of pillow covers and the style of them so just about make new ones every winter and summer. Can make so many great embellishments on them (before you sew the cover together of course). Believe me it makes it alot harder if you decide you wanted something on front of pillow after you sew it together. I use fabric fusion glue to stick things on after the thought. Been there, done that.srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-51587734096115221252012-05-12T23:41:20.962-04:002012-05-12T23:41:20.962-04:00Hi Donna, love this wonderful fabric, you've d...Hi Donna, love this wonderful fabric, you've done a great job, and yours looks so neat, unlike some of mine!
