Napkin Pillow Covers

I've been on the search for new pillow covers to refresh the family room.  I showed you some pillows last week and I've saved some on Etsy.  None of them I've pulled the trigger on.  Last week I made a run in Target and came across these clearance napkins.  There are four in a pack and are 20 inches squared.  I knew I could make pillow covers from them.  They were the color I was looking for and the pattern was cool too.  They were also on clearance.

  

I now like having pillow covers that are removable and can be washed, especially with kids.  I could have made envelope covers but zippers are more my thing now.  With an envelope closure, you can only use one side of the pillow.  A zippered closure allows for use of both sides.  Using this tutorial for zippered pillow covers, I made two new pillow covers for the family room.  Instead of buying new zippers, I took them off old pillow covers I was no longer using.  I've told you about stocking up on feather pillow inserts at TJ Maxx.  I had two ready to go in the closet.

On the left side I paired one with a gray and white pillow cover from H&M.

And on the right side it is paired with the green pillow cover from H&M.

They look great together on the sofa.  The new covers help bring in more blue along with the gray and green.

It took me a few minutes to get reacquainted with the sewing machine, but it was well worth it.

 

So glad I made a Target stop that day.  I was able to refresh the sectional for a total of $7.00, the price of the napkins.  I think I want to add one more pillow here to pull the colors all together.

Have you ever used napkins for pillows?
