I've had trouble in the past with the pillow back being flimsy, now I know why.:-) <br /><br />I do have a question for you. When you wash the cover, do you have any trouble with the batting? I always layer a piece of fabric with the front and batting (like a quilt) because I'm afraid the batting will all fall apart in the wash without it. Thanks for taking the time!!<br />Jen<br />jenmsmittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463890351341018639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-15610281677902781672014-02-07T05:47:28.749-06:002014-02-07T05:47:28.749-06:00So simple. :) Would you want a little less overla...So simple. :) Would you want a little less overlap for a smaller pillow? The pillow I am working on will finish at 14 inches. I'm thinking more like a 2-3 inch overlap for that one. What do you think?

I love that your method gives a bit of extra durability with the two layers (because, for some reason, our cushions don't always stay on the couch and are sometimes used in a very active manner. Thank you Mr 4 yr old!). Also, your way of doing the back means that you can never accidentally sew up the cushion cover with the wrong side facing out when it's finished. Which is excellent for me!Jenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619378781482679540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-28679680853480640672014-02-06T00:18:59.188-06:002014-02-06T00:18:59.188-06:00I had to laugh!
