  • 16 x16 inch square for the front
  • 16 x17 inch squares for back of each pillow whichever material you want on the backside
On one of your two 16x16 inch squares use a ruler to make a large isosceles triangle by placing the ruler in the bottom corner. (see picture below) Draw a line to the middle point (8 inches). Cut out your two triangles. Turn the side edges over 1/4 inch and sew a hem.

Pin one of the triangles to the front of your pillowcase right side up. Pin other triangle to opposite side. Sew each side. Make sure the tips of your triangles won't get caught in the seam.

Now pin the backing on top of the front. The two pieces of the backing will overlap.

If you find your edges don't match up trim the excess. Sew along edges taking out the pins as you go. Turn right side out. Place pillow form through opening in back. Tie two triangle pieces together.
