Decorative Cotton Fabric Cushions

1 Cut two 45 x 45 cm pieces to make each cushion cover. Make a 1.5 cm fold on the bottom of each of the two squares. This side will be the cover's opening. (Fold the fabric from the outer side onto the inner side and iron.

2 Assemble the two squares - outer side against outer side. Secure the three sides with pins (not the fourth side which has the fold).

3 Sew the three sides together with a seam of approx. 1 cm from the edge. At the fold at the bottom you may sew a small section from each side using the sewing machine. Leave an opening for the stuffed pillow. See the last step.

4 Before turning the cushion cover inside out, cut off the corners at the opposite end of the fold.

5 Turn the cover inside out, press it with an iron and insert the pillow. Sew the opening together by hand with small stitches using a needle and thread.
