Now, to Make a Pillow Slipcovers Out of Vintage Fabric Fat Quarters You Will Need:

1 - 2 Vintage Fabric Fat Quarters

Sewing Machine

Matching Thread

Scissors

Pillow or New Pillow Insert

Straight pins

Now, I like to simply first turn my Vintage Fabric Fat Quarter face down. You want the good side facing down on the work surface.

Now, insert your pillow onto the Vintage Fabric Fat Quarter. Place it so that the Vintage Fabric Fat Quarter wraps around it comfortably. You can place another piece of retro fabric con the back or save money with less expensive fabric that won't show as much.

Now, take your straight pins and outline the Vintage Fabric Fat Quarter and back fabric around the pillow insert making sure to pin straight lines on all four sides.

Now, I like to unpin the bottom side and slide the inserted pillow out. This is optional though. It certainly is a lot easier to sew the pillow slipcover from the Vintage Fabric Fat Quarter if there is no pillow inside though.

Now, sew along the top and the two sides with your sewing machine. I recommend starting at the bottom left and working my way to the bottomed right.
