HOW-TO:NO-SEW
PILLOWSWHAT YOU NEED
Fabric
Pillow insert
Sharp scissors
1 roll of 1-inch Stitch
Witchery regular tape
Damp dishtowel or
washcloth
Iron
38-inch grommet kit
STEP 1
Cut two fabric squares
3 inches larger than
your pillow insert. For
2
6 7
example, if your insert
is 16 inches square,
you want two 19-inch
squares of fabric.
STEP 2
Lay one of your fabric
squares on a flat
surface, pattern side
facing up. Cut four
Stitch Witchery strips
to match the length of
the four sides of your
fabric square.
STEP 3
Line up three of your
Stitch Witchery strips
along three of the outer
edges of your fabric
square. Lay your second
fabric square on top,
pattern side facing
down, making sure allyour edges are even.
STEP 4
Place your damp
dishtowel or washcloth
on a single section of
the seam. Using the
cloth as a guard, set the
iron to medium heat,
and press it down
dont slide itfor ten
seconds. Repeat this
process, completely
tracing the border of
the three sides that
already have Stitch
Witchery in place.
STEP 5
Once the Stitch
Witchery is set and
your seams are
stuck together, turn
your almost finished
pillowcase inside out.
The seams should be
on the inside now.
Youre ready to insert
your pillow.
STEP 6
To close up the last
side, fold in 1-inch
seams along the outer
edge of both pieces of
fabricso you end up
with what looks like a
set of lips. Line up your
last Stitch Witchery
strip between the two
folded-down seams,
right along the edge;
then iron it closed.
STEP 7
You can stop here. But
if you want a little extra
flairor plan on having
some heavy-duty
pillow fightsyou can
insert grommets along
the edges, which look
cool and help keep the
pillow together. Follow
the directions on your
grommet kit (they all
work a little differently).
