This is my second time making pillow covers. These are for my sister...she found the fabric online at www.fabric.com and had it sent to me. I made these the same way I did here: http://melissarproject.blogspot.com/2012/04/sewing-machine-love.html
This picture is showing the inside of the pocket that the pillow will slide into. I left about a 5 inch overlap which worked great.
On this pillow I almost made the same mistake as last time. I was just about to start sewing but decided to check things...and sure enough I did it again. Both sides of the material should always be facing in...so when you flip it right-side out you have a nice pretty pillow, not an inside-out looking one. Luckily I only had to unpin this one...the last one took me hours of seam ripping.

All done...I put one of my pilows in the case and it turned out quite nice. I shipped them off to New Mexico to their new home on my sisters couch.
This will be a much happier looking pillow now.
