Yes, Jill, they're done! My sister asked me to make some pillow covers for the pillows that came with the couch that she got (for FREE!) from my parents...they're nice like that. She put a couch cover on it and needed new pillows for cheap. I think she spent less than $5 on her fabric....right out of the remnant bin.

So, I made some. Goodness, people, this is such an easy project. The instructions said that it only takes 20-30 minutes. Seriously, if you've got fabric that doesn't need to be "straight" because of the pattern, it doesn't take long at all!

Here's where I found the tutorial.

***If you are going to attempt this (which is a great project for newbie sewers), you should pin the cover before you sew it. Once you have sewn the short sides of your fabric, wrap the fabric around the pillow (inside out) and pin it in the middle so that you know where the folds will land. It works WAY better than just guessing. Trust me...I learned the hard way.
