Perfect video for a beginner; I made the envelope pillowcase and fits perfect...Thank You!

Thank you so much! I never could figure out a formula that could be used for all sized pillows. 🙃 Such useful info and tips!

Thank you. Explained very clearly and I appreciate that you gave a visual for the math the formulas.

Thank you this was the most easiest tutorial I see I am going to do it for my winter pillows 🥰❤️

This was just the tutorial I was looking for! Thank you so much

I am completely new to sewing, so as my 4th project, I challenged myself to make a pillow cover. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial, I was able to complete a pillow cover that fits perfectly! Thank you for taking time to explain and show each step in detail. 😊

That must feel great! It's sad that the public school took home economics out of their classes. When I was in 8th grade I made a beautiful skirt and in 9th grade a double sided vest to match the skirt. When I was 12, I went to a girl's religious camp that summer, the whole bunk made jumpers. I remembering being scared that I would sit down and the stiches would all come out, LOL. Between a good sewing machine and talented counsellors, each girl had a beautiful jumper. Today pillow covers...tomorrow...a new wardrobe!

Thank you. This is probably the most comprehensive tutorial I’ve ever watched. So well described. Without any confusion. Congrats and well done. I can’t wait to view more of your tutorials.

Thank you so much for these clear and concise instructions for the various pillowcase options. Exactly what I was looking for. :)

what do you mean by "decide if you want to account for your seam allowance?" thank you! great tutorial!

மிகவும் அழகாக இருக்கிறது. நன்றி.

👋 Hi! I'm new to the channel (& sewing). Would you explain your formula for adding inches to the two back pieces, i.e. 1:15 & 5:05 stamps? I've rewatched and can't figure out how you're arriving at those numbers. Thanks for the helpful tips.

Question about the long pillow: why did you add 2" to the short side and 5" to the long side? Thanks.

great tutorial, thank you Tamara! I am guessing if you want a bigger flange edge you have to add on the size ? Im a lil rusty at my sewing skills but your video is inspiring indeed!

@TamarasJoyDIY

You are right Tammy :) You would have to make those measurements larger.

Hi Tamara i have just watched your tutorial and it has helped me a great deal your method is much easier the maths part is the best now to have a go I need to make 5 pillows so wish me luck I have liked and subscribed to your channel .Thanks for taking the time to make and stream your video

Hi Lesley, I am so glad to hear that I could help! I hope all 5 pillows went smoothly. And welcome!

For Tip #8, I have a genius tip. To avoid noticing the back seam on your square pillow, turn it in the other direction. Voila! So much less effort than sweating whether it's the top or the side of the square. Because it's square. Jeez, Louise.

Very important info if the pillow front is directional, however!

Could a person use a surger machine? Thank you for the tutorials

For the rectangle pillow cover, is there a specific reason you didn’t add an inch for seam allowance? Is it so the pillow is tighter within the cover?

Hello! I am going to attempt the first 2 ways of making these covers. I want to understand the math.. can you tell me what/how the plus 4” is on the first cover and on the long pillow what/how is the plus 2” on the small piece and the plus 5” is on the long piece? What are those additions for? Thanks son,I h.. very much a newbie here

I apologize just read tutorial description and seems to I plagiarized it oh well. Great tutorial. Gonna subscribe and watch more

Where did you buy your pillow forms? They are fuller and softer then the ones i got at WM and Joanns

@TamarasJoyDIY

Жыл бұрын

I find that if you buy pillow forms that are one or two sizes larger then your pillow cover you can get a nice full pillow. Hope that helps! My pillow forms used in this tutorial were old so I have no idea where to send you for a good pillow form. So sorry!

I am currently making a 14x14 pillow slipcover. Where did you get the 4 inches from at 1:17? Since my pillow is slightly smaller should I make this number smaller?

@TamarasJoyDIY

Жыл бұрын

Fair point! Yes you can make the 4” smaller. The main thing is you don’t want the pillow once inserted to spread both flaps apart and show the inside pillow. I hope that makes sense. Happy sewing!

What's the type of fabric?

how are you measuring your fabric? Fabric comes in 45" and 60" bolts. If you want 1 or 2 colors of fabric, how much should you purchase? Thanks

@TamarasJoyDIY

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Regina, Fabric comes is lots of different widths. Often quilters cotton comes at around 42" (in my area anyways, and I tend to use quilters cotton for my projects). If you want to make a pillow cover often a half of a yard will give you plenty to work with (depending on the size of the pillow you want to cover of course). Just make sure you buy enough off the bolt, that it is larger than the width (plus seams) of your pillow that you are covering. Hope that helps :)

OMG!! Thank you so much for this tutorial! You are a Godsend. Can I ask where you purchased those “pins” you’re using to hold the fabric together? Or what the official name of them are so I can order some? I’m tired of stabbing my fingertips. 😑

Hi Ashlee, congrats on your baby boy! I am a boy mom and they sure will keep you busy. As for the pillow, yes you can do this without an iron. Just finger press the edge and that will work too. Or pin the folds down. Or even some Elmer’s glue will hold it down temporarily. Just make sure it is a wash away glue. Happy sewing!!

can you do the math for me for a king-size pillow? I don't trust myself

I think it's funny I use a chopstick too. If anyone wants to use a chopstick for your corners do not use the ones they give your with your food. Go to an Asian grocery store and buy a nice set for 4 to 8 people you can put two in the sewing room and put the rest in your silverware drawer I put mine with the knives and you will never have to use those nasty wooden ones ever again.
