Sewing hand printed fabric into Pillow covers

Today I made a couple of pillow covers with some gelatin printed fabric.

Measure and cut hand printed fabric to make pillow covers

I simply cut the fabric 1″ bigger than the pillow form. Sewed 3 sides with the machine.

Hand sew the last edge of the pillow cover

Sew 2″ in on each edge of the 4th side. Insert form and whip stitch the rest by hand.
