Striped ‘Button’ Pillow Slipcover

From the first button pillow I ever made, I was hooked. Or should I say, ‘buttoned’? They are my absolute, hands down favorite kind of pillow slipcover. I’ve experimented since then, but this latest project just might be my most-loved so far. I followed the original tutorial, but added a section of striped fabric at the top of the pillow (the part that will eventually fold over) for–I think–great effect.

I can imagine all kinds of mix-and-match fabric scenarios here. Including plaids, where the fold-over bit is sewn on on the bias. Oh, yeah…and that button…that big, beautiful, wood button! I snatched up at Michael’s. At $4, it was the most expensive button I’ve ever purchased, but it was totally worth it!
