16 Fat Quarters (a total of 4 yards) from the Delilah range by Tanya Whelan
If you are like me and have never made a pillow before and the words "pillow cover with invisible zipper" make you run for cover rather than make one, rest assured it is a whole lot easier you than it looks!
These two patchwork pillow covers are my first ever pillows and both come with an invisible zipper. There are numerous tutorials on the internet which will help guide you through inserting the zip ~ I used the tutorial found at Design*Sponge. And can I say I was rather pleased with myself when they were done! Two pillows, two zips!
Give yourself the chance to win these 20 inch square pillow covers by entering February's Blogger's Pillow Party. The pillow covers are a participation prize and the lucky winner will be chosen by Rachel from Stitched in Color.
