Inspiration...Linen Pillow Covers

 Spring is in the air.  Seems like a good time to do a bit of a decor reboot.  Here is some pillow covers:

This is the Pottery Barn Carmelita Flax Linen Pillow Cover.  Price tag: $79.00.  Details: 100% flax linen, reversible, 22"x22", 20" zipper, spot clean.  Check it out online,

I am all for redecorating from time to time.  However, this pillow cover seem a little on the expensive side.  You only need about 3/4 yard of linen, a zipper, and thread to make it.  I will help you out a bit.  Here is a Flanged Pillow tutorial.  Linen fabrics can be found at this store.  Be sure to check out the daily specials and the doggie bags.  

Making your own pillow covers means you get to decide color, size, and style.  They can easily be changed out for the season, if you choose.  You get to decide if the pillow cover is washable.  Linen can easily be put in the washer, if you wash it before you start.

The pillow forms can be expensive.  The pillow forms at Pottery Barn are not a bad price.  Surprisingly.  

Happy Sewing!
