How to Make Pillows for All The Family | Pillow Cover to Protect The Pillow Insert from Sweat



These are my family's new pillows.


Pictures and Description

Pillow
I made a pretty pillow for spring.




Pillow
It will make you fall asleep the moment your head touches it.





Pillow
From the time the children were young until now, 
all the pillows used by the whole family are made by me.





Pillow
I made it in three sizes for preschooler, elementary school students, teenagers & adults.





Pillow
I added a quilted batting to the inside of the part where the head touches, 
so that the pillow insert does not easily get dirty from sweat or contaminants.
Children sweat a lot when they sleep.
If you buy a pillow cover, check it out.




Pillow
While I was making it, I also made a duvet for Dada(doll's name).





Pillow
I made a frill pillow and completed it with a duvet and set!
My daughter likes that it is a set with her own pillow.




Pillow
If you just follow the process I make, even a beginner can make it very easily.
Try making a pillow for all the family!





Materials

Pillow

* Pillow Cover *
Cotton Fabric, No. 3 Zipper, Interfacing
Interfacing : Pre-quilted batting / White quilting fabric polyester cotton
(It is quilted together with polyester cotton and white t/c fabric.)

* Pillow Insert *
White TC Fabric or Thin Cotton Fabric, Fiberfill


If you make the pillow insert 2 to 3 cm (1¼in) larger than the pillow cover, 
you can make a pretty pillow.
1cm (⅜in) seam allowance included.




Pillow
Pillow size is 3cm (1¼in) included size.





Pillow
This is the quilting batting that I mainly use.
Pre-quilted batting / White quilting fabric polyester cotton
(It is quilted together with polyester cotton and white t/c fabric.)

It can be used for various covers, slippers, kitchen/oven gloves, pouches, bags, and more.




How to make

Pillow
1. I'll make the back of the pillow cover first.
Zigzag or serging like the picture above.
(If you do a zigzag stitch, replace an overlock foot to prevent wrinkles.)





Pillow
2. Place the right side together and sew.
3. Both top and bottom are connected with zipper.





Pillow
4. Fold the upper fabric just enough to cover the zipper and pin it.
5. Sew along the sewing line leaving about 1cm (⅜in) at both ends of the back of the zipper.




Pillow
6. Insert the zipper slide and sew on both ends.




Pillow
7. Lay the fabrics like the picture.
8. Pin fabrics and sew. To make sewing easier, you need to put a lot of pins.
(It is better if there is nothing on the head of the pin or if it is small.)



Pillow
9. Clip seam allowances diagonally. Open the zipper and turn inside out.
10. Mark four points within 3cm (1¼in).




Pillow
11. Pin fabrics and sew like number 8.
12. Please put pillow insert. The pillow is complete.




※ Easy to make pillow insert


Pillow
1. Fold fabric right sides together
2. Leave an opening wide enough for your hand to fit through and sew.
3. Turn inside out and stuff with fiberfill.
4. Fold the opening seam allowance inward and sew it. 
The pillow insert is complete.
