1

Gather all of your supplies and setup your workspace… thread your needle, load your bobbin, and get everything ready for a quick sewing sesh.

2

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

3

Pin the two pieces of fabric face-to-face to keep it from shifting while sewing. I’m just using plain straight pins…

4

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

5

Next, flip the pillow right side out to see how it looks! If you’re happy with it, carefully stuff the insert inside.

6

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.
