Simple Pillow Sham Tutorial for Standard and King pillows
Pillow Sham Tutorial
with SIMPLE
Envelope Closure
Here's a really easy way to make a cute pillow sham with an envelope back closure. Directions are for a Standard OR a King Sham.
LOVE THIS FABRIC? Get it HERE.
You'll NEED:
For a STANDARD sham....
29x22 inch cut of fabric for the front
20x22 for the back (2 pieces)
For a KING sham....
36x22 inch cut of fabric (front)
27x22 for the back (2 pieces)
Your sham will look like this!
CUT YOUR FABRIC.
For the 2 back pieces HEM one side on each piece. (22 in, side)
~Lay your TOP cut pretty side facing UP.
~Lay BOTH back pieces pretty side facing down.
PIN!!!!!!! A LOT!!!!
This will keep everything in place while sewing.
Next Serge ALL edges. If you don't have a serger that's OK...just sew all of your edges.
Be careful the center flaps stay flat while sewing.
Once all of your edges are finished flip your pillow case right side out. Make sure to push all 4 corners out.
You can use a pencil (That's how I do it.)
Now....Iron the heck out of it. Use a ton of starch, the starch will make it hard and easy to sew your boarder.
LAST STEP!!!!!
Top stitch around the entire pillow case. Your stitch should be 1 inch from the edge all
the way around.
(Again....be careful with the back)
There you go!!!! Simple, right??!!
