This is a fast, easy way to make a throw pillow. Google “napkin pillow” and you will see lots of ideas. There are different ways to construct this pillow, here is how I made mine:
You will need 2 cloth napkins. I bought these bird ones at Kohls.
I sewed a seam along the very edge of the napkins, then a second seam along the hem of the napkin. This created a little border. Make sure to leave most of the bottom open so you can insert your pillow.
Insert your pillow. The way I am making this pillow does not allow for easy washing of the pillow covering. I am OK with that. If I really need to wash it, I can rip out the seam. I would have put a zipper, but there was too much bulk with all the hems of the napkin.
Pin the opening closed. Sew a double seam on the sewing machine. It was a little tricky holding the pillow and maneuvering the sewing at the same time – it can be done!
I loved my pillow so much, I sewed a second one. The fabric is soft and they feel so comfortable!
Adorable! Looks like you spent a fortune on the fabric at JoAnn’s! Easy, cheap, and fast – my kind of project 😀
Hi Amanda
So happy to have found your blog:) Wow..what an awesome idea for a pillow. I really like that it involves little to almost no sewing. Thanks for sharing. I just recently did a post on my blog about making a pillow out of a kitchen towel. Your pillow is so bright and cheerful!
