How to Make an Envelope Pillow Back

[@barbarahillegass2135]

I typically make a pillow case without quilting the fabric. Saw a pillow that the creator quilted the fabric and loved the look. Almost ready to assemble & so glad I watched your video. Going to put binding on envelope opening! Great tip to avoid bulk. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial and I enjoyed hearing about your grandmother's pillows made for you!

Watched another tutorial for an envelope pillow covering but landed on this one immediately after. This video was so much better- explanations to the point and easy! Thanks! Enjoy all your videos though.

[@candiejo3869]

Great video! Your voice is so soothing and wonderful! This tutorial helped me a lot!! ❤️💙

I have been meaning to come back to this tutorial and now I finally have a block that I want to make into a pillow! Thank you for the directions. 💕

[@KatrinaT]

My pillow turned out great! Thank you for making a video showing this. It was very easy to follow along.

[@marycaratelli9785]

Thank you so much for making this look so easy. I'm going to try this tomorrow for sure! God Bless You!!!!😀

[@ritaleek4588]

Thank you for all the good detail. Made a pillow today with an envelope back 😊

[@C12133]

Great tutorial!! You have such a great way of explaining each step. I feel like I would be confident enough to make it now!! Thank you so much!!😀😍

[@purespringpuresping4573]

Thanks very much for your clear and easy to follow tutorial for the envelope pillow back. Off to try it now! Thanks again.

Thank you for the tutorial. I’m working on a horizontal pillow (as your flag is). I hadn’t even thought to make the flaps of the envelope back run vertically. Duh! That’s going to be so much easier. Thanks!!!

If you take 1 or 2 stitches on the diagonal on the corners you will get a really nice sharp corner and gives you a little more room there.

[@suehaeseker8044]

Love the pillow. An easy method to change up old pillows.

[@boonedogglepip5463]

Great tutorial. Love this pillow! So much so that I followed the links to get the PDF to make one. I'm not sure whose pattern it is but I believe there is a mistake in the instructions. In the second step, the patterns says: "With right sides together, place two matching navy squares in opposite corners of a 4¼” x 4¼” navy square as shown. " I believe it should instead say, 'place two matching cream squares'. (The ones with the diagonal lines drawn on in step one.) Just thought I'd mention this for anyone else making the pillow. I followed the instructions, using navy squares and had to redo that bit. If I wasn't a newbie, I would have caught that before making the boo-boo, I think. Live and learn!

So cute Sherri..... My birthday and my great grandmother's birthday is on July 3rd..... I am going to make some pillows in honor of her. She has since passed away but thank you for the free pattern. Hugs from Minnesota

Great tutorial! You do a great job explaining all of the steps and I appreciate that. This is my go to way of finishing a pillow. Definitely downloading the pillow pattern! Thank you!

[@phyllisb.4331]

I really enjoy your explanations. Thank you

[@christycleary216]

Great tutorial. Cute pillow. Thanks for sharing!!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Thanks so much for sharing your pattern I really adore the star pillows❣️🧵✂️

[@carolbanks8313]

I have purchased an 18x18 pillow from. I have stitched a piece of Sashieko measuring about 13x13. Do I just need to make this piece measure 18x18 and cut backing pieces 18x24 or so for overlap?

[@patriciaguevara8793]

This is awesome! I have pillows that really need a new “look” on them - now I can make multiple covers and switch them out whenever I want to - thank you - this is really great - and I like how you explain as you go. Thank you

[@lynntamulis6655]

Thank you, your video was really helpful 😊

[@debbieweigle8420]

A great technique. Thank you!

[@jewels-8655]

So cute and a helpful video. Thank You

[@karoligou]

Thank you so much! Great tutorial!

[@marietteforget7804]

🌸🌺 Thanks ! How big is the pillow? In general, in the cover the same size or a little bigger than the pillow?

[@celiagtorres]

How much is "enough" overlap 6 inches each side? Please let me know.

[@marybradley168]

Very nice Sherri.

[@careyware4634]

Can you give me the me the measurements for a square pillow and include the size of back pieces??? I don’t know how to determine how much overlap the back pieces should have. Carey

[@cookiecookie7126]

How many inches is the over lap? 4 or 6 inchs.? Thank you for this tutorial.

[@lynetteperry3559]

looks great

[@veritagwallace1956]

To avoid losing the quality of the star and the stripes, adding about a two inch border to the face of the pillow case, before sewing on the backing, would help.

[@nanrussell6423]

Good tutorial. One question, I see that you (as well as other quilters I have watched) use steam when pressing on your wool mat. My wool mat instructions said not to use steam because it could break down the mat. Have you found this to be a problem? Thanks, Sherri.

[@chuscaace6321]

Beautiful

[@carolmorgano7158]

Sooo easy thank you 😊

Can you iron 80/20 batting without it partially melting like 100% polyester batting?

[@131dyana]

Thank you.

[@gramxl0]
