First off, I have to say this was one of the easiest projects of my life! I got the idea from this pin on Pinterest. She used velcro to close the open ends of the pillowcases but I chose not to.
I bought 4 matching (I thought) pillowcases, washed and ironed them, sewed them together, added pillows and voilà!
It turned out that the chevron pattern was horizontal on 2 and vertical on the other 2. The sizes were a little off, as well. Nothing that bothered me that much.
I did a zigzag stitch to hold them together. I matched the edges as best I could and sewed the long edges together.
You can see the size discrepancy in the picture below.
After you stuff the pillows in you can’t tell at all!
She loves it!
In all, I paid $10 for all 4 pillowcases in a Fabricland sale. I paid $3.50 for each pillow at Walmart. It would be really easy to add pillows on for children or adults that are taller. It took a couple hours to wash, dry and iron the pillowcases and about 10 minutes to sew them together. It was a cheap and easy project!
