Cylindrical pillows add a touch of elegance to a bed and offer a little extra back support on a sofa or chair. However, no matter how cautious you’re, wear, tear and accidental spills may take their tollfree. It’s not difficult to re-cover a cylindrical pillow, even when you are not that handy with a sewing machine.
No-Sew Cover
Assess the width of the cushion. Assess the height of the cushion. Insert those two measurements together and 4 inches to find the total width of the fabric required.
Measure around the center of the pillow and add two inches to find the length of the fabric you want.
Cut the fabric into the dimensions.
Set the fabric print-side down on a clean, flat surface. Fold all four sides up 1/2 inch to create finished edges. Iron the advantages flat.
Secure the folded edges with fabric glue or 1/2-inch double-sided basting tape.
Roll the fabric with the printed side away to form a cylinder, and fasten the seam with the basting tape.
Slip your previous cushion into its brand new cover, making sure it is centered. Twist the ends and fasten them with cord or ribbon.
Sewn Cover
Assess the width of your pillow from one end to another. Add 1 inch to your seam allowance. Measure one of the ends from top to bottom. Double that amount and add 1 inch. Insert the first two amounts together to find the total width of the fabric you want.
Hold the end of the measuring tape at the pillow’s sloping and gently wrap it around the pillow’s middle. Add 1 inch for the seam allowance to find the total length of this fabric you want.
Stand the pillow on one end on a piece of pattern paper and trace a circle around it, then leaving 1/2 inch between the pillow and the line of your circle. Newspaper works nicely for this if you don’t have pattern paper. This is your pattern for the pieces. Cut out the circle of paper.
Cut out the length of fabric you require for the cushion. Fold the remaining fabric in half together with the printed sides jointly. Pin the circle into the fabric, then cut the fabric.
Pin the circles into the sides of the center fabric. Keep the proper sides together. Sew the end pieces to the center peice.
Sew the long seam shut from one end toward the center, leaving an opening at least 6 inches long so that you can slip your cushion into the cover.
Turn the cover right-side out and insert the cushion. Wiggle it around for it settled into the cover snugly and smoothly. Whipstitch the flux closed.
