Sewing a Pillow

Cut 17x13 rectangles out of the material you are using. If you cut your material on a folded edge you will only be sewing 2 sides. If you'd like to add a button for decoration sew a button in the middle of one rectangle on the right side. Place right sides together.

Start in one corner and stitch to the end. Don't forget to do your backward stitch after the first few stitches and at the end. Take off machine and cut the threads. Sew the next side and stitch to the end. Do three sides leaving a short end open. Turn pillow right side out. Stuff with batting or stuffing.
