Tutorial: Buttoned throw pillow cover

Linda from Pane, Amore e Creativita (roughly translates as Bread, Love, & Creativity) shares a tutorial at Hemme showing how to make a throw pillow cover using materials from IKEA. The pillow can be inserted through the opening on the back, which is held closed with a couple of buttons. The fabric, the pillowform, and even the little sewing machine all come from IKEA. The tutorial is written in Italian, but the photos are explanatory enough to show how it’s done. Go the the tutorial in Italian. Go to the tutorial with an English translation.
