I know I've had several posts about making pillows before, but they're one of my favorite easy projects. It's a great way to update the look of your home when you want a change. This particular pillow cover tutorial is super easy and quick and probably the most basic zippered cover you can make. Even if you haven't sew a zipper on before (it's not as scary as it seems!) you will still be able to make these. It's a fast and beginner-friendly project with just 10 easy steps. You could sew up several of these in under in hour.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe only things you will need for this pillow cover tutorial are some fabric, a zipper, and a pillow form. If you don't have a pillow form, you can easily make your own using \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2014/10/how-to-sew-pillow-form-with-zipper.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ethis tutorial\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/a\u003e. Another great source of pillow forms is a store like TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Be sure to check the clearance section you might find some \"ugly\" or damaged pillows for cheaper. Then you can simply remove the cover and sew your own with fabric of your choice. The pillow forms I used for this tutorial are feather and from IKEA (another cheap source!). I had them in storage for a long time and the pillow covers were worn and badly piling so I decided to re-cover them. \n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eCheck out some of my other pillow posts:\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2015/01/color-block-pillow-with-hidden-zipper.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eColorblock Pillow with Hidden Zipper (sewing tutorial)\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2015/05/crochet-button-pillow.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eCrochet Button Pillow (free pattern)\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2015/12/crochet-christmas-decor-diy-crochet.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eCrochet Christmas Pillow (free pattern)\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2014/10/how-to-sew-pillow-form-with-zipper.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eHow to Sew a Pillow Form with a Zipper\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2014/10/the-lodge-pillow.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eThe Crochet Lodge Pillow\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2015/04/10-pillow-tutorials.html\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003e10 Free Throw Pillow Sewing Tutorials \u0026 Crochet Patterns\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m36/shesgotthenotion/Tutorials/zipill2_zps8xin8lca.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg src\u003d\"http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m36/shesgotthenotion/Tutorials/zipill2_zps8xin8lca.jpg\" border\u003d\"0\" width\u003d\"620\" alt\u003d\"Easy Zippered Pillow Cover Sewing Tutorial | She's Got the Notion\"/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\nMaterials Needed\n\u003c/b\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFabric (enough to cover your pillow form)\n\u003cli\u003eZipper (at least the length of your pillow form minus 4\")\n\u003cli\u003eMatching thread\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.amazon.com/s/ref\u003das_li_ss_tl?url\u003dsearch-alias\u003daps\u0026field-keywords\u003dpillow+forms\u0026linkCode\u003dll2\u0026tag\u003dshsgothno-20\u0026linkId\u003d2b6f27164c32cdbf66b0d8b3bd93d798\" target\u003d\"_blank\" rel\u003d\"nofollow\"\u003ePillow Form\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNow let's get started...\u003c/b\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m36/shesgotthenotion/Tutorials/step1_zpszvpmxlre.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg src\u003d\"http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m36/shesgotthenotion/Tutorials/step1_zpszvpmxlre.jpg\" border\u003d\"0\" width\u003d\"620\" alt\u003d\"Easy Zippered Pillow Cover Sewing Tutorial | She's Got the Notion\"/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCut your fabric.\u003c/b\u003e You will need to cut 2 pieces of fabric that are the same size as your pillow form.

If desired, finish the edges of your fabric by serging, overcasting, or using a zigzag stitch.

I am excited to finally have it finished! The funny thing is this looks more like a fall-winter decoration and I finished it in the spring. I think playing around with the buttons and yarn color though could give it a lighter and more summery look. I really do like how it turned out. It looks like my pillow is wearing a cardigan sweater. \n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe pillow itself it a pretty basic pattern worked up in single crochet. It's the kind of pattern you don't have to think too much about and can do in front of the tv (my favorite kind of crochet pattern!).
