Pottery Barn Chunky Linen Ruffle Pillow Cover

 

One  night last weekend I decided I wanted to make another pillow cover while the kids were all watching a movie.  I sat and stared at the drop cloth scraps trying to decide what to make.  I tried Googling for ideas but could not find exactly what I was looking for.

I knew I had seen a pillow like this some place.  Duh....

Today I was looking at Pottery Barns website, (Did I mention I like Pottery Barn?)

 and there it was.  I did not make my ruffle strip long enough to be gathered.

So it is not gathered.  Gathering the corners would have been MUCH easier than the reverse box pleat that I used. 

My pillow opens like an envelope in the back.

It was an easy  project with minimal finishing.

I must say I am enjoying pulling my sewing machine out now and again. 

Now, one of these days I need to get crazy and get out an exacto knife and some freezer paper 

and make some stencils.
