How To Make A Pillow Cover
With Crochet Trim
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs
I saw the fabric on line and just had to have some.
I went to my local Hobby Lobby
but they did not have it in stock.
I ordered the Granny Square fabric from the
Hobby Lobby website. It is a cotton Duck cloth
which is a nice heavy duty fabric.
I originally wanted the fabric to make some liners
for bags. Once it arrived I decided to make a pillow cover
for a pillow I already had. I Love it. The cover can
be removed and washed if it gets dirty.
Remember you do not need a sewing machine to make
this pillow cover. You can stitch this up by hand
with thread and needle. The Sewing machine just
makes it faster and easier.
pillow cover. I thought this Red Heart yarn was a perfect
match with the bring colors and pops of black.
It's Red heart Stripes in the Primary Stripes Colorway.
