Tutorial: Piped throw pillow with button closure

The beach cabin print on these throw pillows by Pam from Threading My Way are making me happy. As you read this post, I’m on the road with my mother and daughter heading down to Gulf Shores for a beach vacation. (Yay for scheduled posts!) But back to the pillows, because that’s what this post is actually about. Pam shares a tutorial showing how she made them. They’re simple square pillow trimmed out with piping around the edges. On the back, buttons make a secure closing. Go to Threading My Way for the how-to.
