How To Brand A Pillow Amongst Glue

You guys know I conduct maintain never been able to principal my sewing machine. And non for lack of trying. (Okay, fine, I didn't travail rattling hard together with pretty much gave upward at the commencement sign of difficulty.) But, since I know I'm non solitary inward this struggle, I decided to part how I brand most of my pillows...without a sewing machine. 

It's a beautiful thing.

A piffling spell ago, I came across some cloth gum called Unique Stitch together with decided to give it a try, figuring cypher could hold out worse than fumbling to a greater extent than or less alongside a bobbin for an hour.

And equally it turns out, this materials is great. I've tried cloth gum before, but it never delivered together with commonly left me wanting my $5 back. This materials is different. It totally delivered. You tin mail away fifty-fifty launder your pillow covers later using this materials on them, together with it nevertheless holds strong. It takes a piffling longer to dry out than some of the other cloth glues, but the destination effect is much better. You tin mail away honour Unique Stitch at most arts and crafts stores or online here (amazon affiliate link).

I ended upward making a bunch of dissimilar pillows, some for the invitee sleeping accommodation I'll part adjacent week, together with some for the living room. I'm pretty happy alongside how they turned out.

Cost me nearly $3 a pillow.

One 1000000 dollars saved.

So, here's a quick pillow tutorial.

You take fabric. I was able to larn 2 pillows out of 1 yard of fabric, together with then purchase accordingly.

You too take pair of scissors together with of course, the cloth glue.

To brand an envelope pillow, you lot take to cutting three pieces of fabric. I cutting i 20x20 inch slice together with 2 20x15 inch pieces.

The 2 20x15 inch panels combine to brand the backside of the pillow, overlapping slightly inward the center, alongside an opening inward the centre (where the light-green arrows are) that the pillow goes into. 

Here's a diagram to demonstrate you lot how it works.

To get together your pillow, house the 2 20x15 panels on move past times of the 20x20, matching upward the numbers inward the diagram. 
The dark arrows demonstrate you lot where to gum the cloth to attach the panels to i another. 
I chose to run a strip of gum along the border on the 2 20x15 panels where the light-green arrows are together with crimp the cloth over together with then that they expect finished together with and then that I didn't conduct maintain whatsoever raw edges of my cloth showing. Also, since you lot are assembling this pillow within out, lay the cloth alongside the impress facing inward.

When the pillow is assembled, the 2 20x15 panels destination upward where the pillow opens inward the back, slightly overlapping.  This is what the dorsum of your pillow volition expect like. 

(It functions simply similar a criterion sham pillowcase, together with you lot tin mail away take it to launder it.)

Once you've glued your pillow comprehend together, permit it to dry out overnight. Once it's dry, you lot tin mail away plough your pillow comprehend right-side-out together with materials your pillow inward the opening. I similar to exercise downward choice pillow inserts because they create total the covers out actually nicely.

And that's all at that topographic point is to it!
