So Izzy and I would like to show you what we’ve been up to while we’re snowed in here in VA.

I had this little pillow I picked up at a thrift store for .99 cents and two napkins from Target ($2.50 for the pair).  Izzy and I decided it would be cute to make an envelope cover for the snowman pillow for Valentine’s Day!

I measured the pillow so I would know how much to cut down the napkins, which were 17″ square. My pillow was 12″ square.

I cut napkin #1 down to 12.5″ square, cutting off all hemmed edges.  This is the front of my pillow cover.  (Cutting to 12.5″ will give you 1/4″ around the edges for hemming.)  With napkins #2 I cut it lengthwise to 12.5″, removing the hemmed edges along those sides.

Then I cut napkin #2 in half along the remaining 17″ side, leaving the hemmed edges along this side.  (See below)

So these two pieces from napkin #2 are 8.5″ x 12.5″ with the original hemmed edges along the outer edges.

Lay out napkin #1, face up, and position the two pieces from napkin #2, face down, with hemmed edges to the center and overlapping so that all outer edges of the two napkins line up.

Pin along the outer edges and sew napkins together.

Once you’re done sewing, trim all for centers at an angle for neater centers when you turn the pillow right side out.

Ta-Da!!!  You have an adorable Valentine’s Day pillow!

This project was super easy and super fast.  It honestly took me longer to upload all the photos for the tutorial than it did to whip the pillow up! :)
