Rectangle Pillow

For this Rectangle Pillow you can include a button for decoration and added practice in hand sewing or leave it off.

You will need the following to learn how to sew a pillow:
2-17 x 13 inch rectangles of material
Decorative button
Stuffing

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. Start on the next side and stitch to the end. Do three sides leaving a short end not sewn. Turn pillow right side out. Stuff with batting or stuffing.
