Setup Your Workspace
Setup Your Workspace
Gather all of your supplies and setup your workspace… thread your needle, load your bobbin, and get everything ready for a quick sewing sesh.
Cut Your Fabric to Size
You can use scissors- or depending on your faux fur, it may be easier to rip the fabric. Leave an inch or two around the cushion to account for your seam.
Pin The Fabric
Setup Your Workspace
Pin the two pieces of fabric face-to-face to keep it from shifting while sewing. I’m just using plain straight pins…
Sew the Material Together
Sew the two pieces of material together, working around one edge, the next, again, and one more… stopping halfway on your last side.
Flip The Pillow & Add the Insert
Setup Your Workspace
Next, flip the pillow right side out to see how it looks! If you’re happy with it, carefully stuff the insert inside.
Whip Stitch The Pillow Closed
The last step is to thread a needle with matching thread, then hand stitch the hole closed. I prefer to use a whip stitch… which is a simple stitch that passes over and under on a diagonal.
These can easily be styled with a larger square pillow, a wool throw for winter, or a cozy blanket in another material. They’re super easy to layer and are equally as comfortable to lounge with.

Look how cute these turned out! I actually think for budget friendly faux fur pillows, they’re quite convincing and soft.
