My old pillow covers were gross. They live on the floor 90% of the time because for some reason pillows are meant to be thrown on the floor by little boys + husband...so it was time for new ones.
It’s a fun quick project and I forget how much I enjoy looking at new pillows on my couch, plus that patchwork pillow was all scraps…gotta love that. I used this tutorial to install an invisible zipper in them so they can go into the wash often.

cute pillows! i love quick and easy projects for the house!

I love the pillows! This is definitely a project I need to undertake as we have the same issue at our house... except it is big boys! I love the foil of the bright pillows against a leather sofa any day!
Kelsey
So cute! I was just thinking last night about how our couch desperately needs some new pillows too!
Kate @SwimBikeQuilt
So bright and cheery. Looks great!
Mary
You did a great job! They really are cute and with boys that zipper will come in handy. This is my firs tvisit to your site, so I took some time to browse through some of your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. You've created a great spot for your readers to visit and I really enjoyed the time I spent here. I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

That's such a great idea, instead of just tossing them out! I love the look of many sofa pillows here and there. So colorful. Great job. :-)

You gotta love a project that is made up of all scraps. No waste!! I love pillows, you know I need to go make some now!! January T

What wonderful pillows! I raised three sons and I understand completely! They think couch cushions and throw pillows are for building forts and having pillow fights!
Stacey
That's so funny. That's exactly where my pillows live their lives. What is it about boys and pillows. I'm starting to think I should just give away the couches and make floor cushions. Maybe I wouldn't be the crazy lady screaming about her pillows being on the floor all the time. Great pillows!

Really cute pillows! They look great against that leather couch. (I really like the green legs of that table...)
Kristie
Yes- what IS it about kids and pillows on the floor??? These are very cute (and washable!).
Stacy
How cute! Now, I want to make new covers for my pillows. My hubby and daughters seem to think ours belong on the floor too.
Kris
Love it! I adore pillows. My hubby hates them. MEN!
Jeannie
What do you use for a pillow form inside?
Becky
They are very pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Heather D.
Just lovely! The yellow zigzags are great.
Michelle
My couch is in desperate need of some pillows! Your pillows are so lovely. I love the chevrons...where did you find the fabric??
Quilted Cats
What fabulous pillows, love them. I looked at mine yesterday and thought they needed a face lift. Guess I know what I'll be doing. Love your "Modern Quilt". Kona fabrics are so
great to work with. I've been using Kona in my embroidery work.

Seriously... WHAT IS UP with throwing the pillows on the floor, boys?! A few months ago I made seven much needed pillows for our couch. The first few weeks I thought I'd go CRAZY always having to pick up those darn things. Now we've compromised that I'll pick them up and complain less as long as they don't throw them on the floor as much. :)
I really like your yellow zig-zaggy fabric.

I love them! I have been on a pillow making kick myself. I have been making all my pillows with an envelope style back, but I think I will try the zipper now. I've done zippers a few times...they really aren't that difficult.
I have already made several of my Christmas gifts and a couple were couch pillows for my dad. I recycled some old bed pillows. Just cut the end off and took out the old stuffing, refluffed it, and then stuffed the +heck+ out of the new pillow I made with muslin. The kids helped. I like pillows extra firm!

Love the happy colors your chose.

Great pillows!

Your new pillows make me happy. I think I have that same yellow zigzag fabric...I should go make myself a happy pillow too! Smiles~Beth
Danielle
I'm glad it's not jus me then - my kids are always chucking pillows on the floor and I'm forever putting them back again. I think we are due for some new ones too. And your couches look the same as mine so I'm pleased to see these bright colours looking so fab against the chocolate brown leather!!

You make the best stuff! What size squares did you use?
Wendy
I've been dreaming of making pillows! It's been all talk so far but maybe this weekend...
Dolores
I have one boy in particular who always throws the pillows on the floor! I have a choc brown leather lounge too and have been telling myself that I need to make some fun cushion covers. I've had a bit of a sewing and blogging break and it's really hard to get started again... my to do list is weighing me down and my fabric storage is overflowing!!! :-)

BTW, I forgot to say how much I loved the cushions!
Cola
Those are super cute!! I just bought some chevron fabric in yellow and teal to make pillows too :)
Did you quilt the top of the pieced pillow or put a lining on it? Just wondering if there's some secret tricks that I don't know about!
mujus
Couch candies! Lovely! :)
Lizzie
I love pillows. I don't know why I don't make them. They are so darned expensive to buy! The yellow chevrons are really fresh. They may bring me out of my war on chevrons. Maybe.
Heather
Love the new pillow!!
Do you mind if I ask where you got your happiness picture in the background?? I love that picture but I have no idea where to find it!

This is a great idea. Love the cushions
Elizabeth
Love the patchwork -- they'll be nice and summery during the winter!
michelle
Males! I hope they like your new cushions, they are just gorgeous.
Pati @ A Crafty Escape
They are beautiful and it's comforting to know that the pillow fight doesn't only happen at my house :)
Sew Much Ado
Those look great! And ditto about the pillows on the floor! My boys (and husband too) do the same thing, I finally told my four year old he's on permanent pillow duty, which lasted for about a day before he realized it wasn't fun, haha :).
