How To Sew a Zippered Pillow Case With a Cloth Napkin!

Wow my time here has been limited lately and boy do I miss it! We have some fun things going on around here and I can’t wait to share them more with you later this week… Until then, I am really excited to be joining Krista from The Happy Housie for this fun Spring Hop. Today I am sharing how to take a sweet spring cloth napkin and turn it into a zippered pillow case!

Here is what I used for this project… It does require basic sewing skills, but is very simple!

2 Cloth Napkins (I always make my covers two inches smaller than my inserts. My inserts are 20 inches so that meant I needed my covers to be 18 inches when finished).
Sewing Thread
Sewing Machine and sewing foot (I used my normal sewing foot for this but I was just careful to stay close to the zipper teeth)
Seam Ripper
Pillowcase Zipper

Here is how I put this pillowcase together next!

I started by removing the seams with my seam ripper. I didn’t want to sew around bulky seams.

Then I cut off any additional length and width that wasn’t needed. For this specific napkin, that meant leaving about 18.5 inches all around.

I always do zippered pillow cases by starting with the zippered ends first. You can see a visual of how I sew a zipper on.

Once my zipper is sewed in place, I then turn the napkins in on each other and sew my seams on the remainder sides and top. I make sure to leave my zipper open a bit so it doesn’t get sewn shut!

When everything is sewn into place, I turn my pillow inside out and stuff it with my insert!

It is so easy and looks custom when all is said and done! I loved these napkins because they were a subtle nod to spring with the sweet birds and patterned florals.

Such an easy way to bring some spring into your home for the season!
