No-Sew Magic (Because sewing is so last century)
Ever wondered how to bind fabric together without worrying about thread and needles? Well, with this skillful trick, the chaos of sewing is replaced by the calming motion of tying knots.
Steps to Fleece Pillow Cover Perfection
- Cut the corners
- Stack the fleece pieces with their wrong sides facing each other, and the edges aligned.
- Use sharp scissors to cut 2-inch squares out of each corner.
- Cut the strips
- Cut through both fleece layers to create 1-inch x 2-inch strips on all four sides.
- Snip the center
- Fold each strip over and snip a small hole in the center. This will make tying the knots a breeze!
- Place the Pillow Form
- Slide the pillow form between the stacked fleece pieces.
- Thread the Strips
- Begin in the center of one side, and thread the top strip of fleece through the bottom strip of fleece.
- Then, thread the bottom strip up through the top strip.
- Repeat this pattern across the entire pillow, working from right to left.
- Finish the Origami
- When you reach the last strip, fold it in half lengthwise and tie it to the strip next to it.
And, voila! Now you can curl up with your new pillow or whip up a few more in different colors or prints for a cozy, coordinated living space.
