Making Pillow Cover w/Invisible Zipper

If you want to be able to take off pillow covering to wash it, this is the best method. With an invisible zipper the closing won’t look noticeable, but appear like a regular seam.

1.      Measure pillow, adding seam allowances.

2.      Transfer measurements to fabric and cut out two.

3.      Optional: Add embellishment to right sides of fabric pieces.

4.      Attach Invisible Zipper: Zipper packages will have instructions on how to attach. Note that you need a special foot on machine to attach an invisible zipper. Watch this video on how to do it.

5.      Place right sides together, pin around edges.

6.      Sew along the three edges, leaving zipper edge unzipped.

7.      Zigzag or serge around edges within seam allowances. Trim and press seams.

8.      Pull pillow covering right-sides out, poking out corners.

9.      Place pillow inside pillow covering and zip shut. YOUR FINISHED!
