Plaid is a classic pattern that never goes out of style and always reminds me of Christmas. I paired it with some natural wood elements and I have a great looking pillow for that neutral chair or white bedding. Even better, this is a basic sewing project since it is just an envelope style pillow cover.

Supplies:
home decor solid cream
stiff interfacing
drill and small drill bit
rotary cutter/matt
sewing machine
coordinating thread
needle
stick pins
For a 12” x 16” pillow cut your plaid 12 1/2” x 7 1/4”. Then cut your cream home decor fabric (2) 12 1/2” x 10”, 12 1/2” by 3 1/2” and 12 1/2” x 6 1/2”.
1. To begin iron your interfacing to the back of the plaid fabric so that it is stable enough for the weight of the wood slice buttons.
2. Cut all your fabric pieces and then sew your plaid in the middle to the two shorter pieces of cream home decor fabric. Press and top stitch.
3. Trim down to 12 1/2” x 16 1/2”.
4. Next, ark your buttonholes and then drill them using a bit large enough for your needle to get through.
5. Mark where you want your buttons to go on the plaid and then hand sew them on with a needle and thread.
6. Prepare the back of your envelope pillow. Press under both of 12 1/2” x 10” pieces a 1/2” and then another 1/2”. Sew.
7. With right sides together pin your back in place and then sew a 1/4” seam all the way around your pillow.
8. Clip your corners and turn right side out.
9. Slip your pillow form inside.
Plaid just screams cozy and warm. It makes me want to cuddle with a blanket and sit by a fire sipping hot cocoa.
The wood slice embellishment gives it that rustic natural feel that is so on trend right now.

I absolutely love this! And plaid! I, too, hope it stays around, as I remember a few years back it was quite hard to find. I never realized it had went out of style, but goodness am I glad it’s made a return!
I am so glad you like it! 🙂
