daybed pillow covers

MATERIALS 
Makes three 26x28" Pillow Covers - Twin Flat Vintage Sheet

PATTERN NOTES  
Measure Pillow (26x28") and add 1" for seam allowance for Front Piece (27x29"), cut 3. 

Envelope Back: 2/3 pillow height (28 x .666 = 18.5") for Back Pieces (27x18.5"), cut 6.

• Use hem of sheet for backs, so no seam allowance is needed on 18.5"
• I had to use scrap pieces to make one back, and added seam allowance to it.

STITCHING NOTES  
If needed, stitch scraps together to make additional back piece, press seam flat.  Use roll-hem foot to quickly hem one 27" edge.  

Place one Front Piece RSU*, and outer Back Piece RSD* on top, aligning top 27" edge and sides. This back piece will show, so pick the nicest finished edge.  My sheet had a large white hem at top, so I used that to give the pillow a polished finish. 

Place second Back Piece (this one will be underneath) on top RSD*, aligning bottom 27" edge and sides.  (Use the pieced together Back Piece for this side).

• Pin all around pillow, especially through all layers at sides.
• Stitch around pillow, pivoting at corners and using a 1/2" seam allowance.
• Clip corners and turn pillow cover right side out through envelope back.
• Press if needed and insert pillows inside! 

*Glossary:  RSU = right side up, RSD = right side down, RDT = right sides together
