Key Sewing Steps

  1. Cut 1.5-inch wide bias or straight-grain contrast strips; fold and press in half lengthwise (wrong sides together).
  2. Pin the folded strip along the front panel edges with raw edges aligned (folded edge facing inward).
  3. Layer overlapping back panels over the top and stitch around the edge, catching the folded lip.

Concept & Design Overview

A 2-in-1 design! Use one bold patterned fabric for the front square and a coordinating secondary print for the back envelope panels. Flipping the pillow instantly changes the room’s aesthetic.
