Easy Tea Towel Pillow Cover

I went to IKEA a couple weeks ago and picked up a couple packs of their tea towels. They have several types. They have ones with a red striped edge for 79 cents each and they have a pack of four that have either gray striped or a gray plaid design. They are about $4 for the 4 pack. Highly affordable. They have several others, too, but I got the gray ones.

I found a fabulous video online showing how to make an easy tea towel pillow cover and I just had to try it. It was just as easy as the video indicated! Watch that video by The Crazy Craft Lady here. I love how she did that video!

Here's my result:

Once I sewed this together, I did have to trim the inside edge because these towels are not always evenly printed, nor are they always evenly squared.

I do like how it turned out. I made one for you (buy it here in my Etsy shop) 

and I made one for my house.

They have an envelope closure, making it so easy to take off for washing.

They are machine washable and dryable and made from 100% cotton.

The finished product is 18" x 18" and I used an IKEA 20" x 20" pillow insert.

Note: IKEA is just a mile down the road from my house!

Happy creating!
