Here is the Travel Pillow Pattern:
Travel Pillow Cutting and Sewing Instructions:
Based upon the direction of the body fabric print, you will cut the fabric accordingly:
- Body Fabric 17”x29”
- Cut Band Fabric 7” x 29”
- Cut Trim Fabric 2”x29”
Fold the Trim Fabric in half lengthwise with the wrong sides together. Press.
Layout the band fabric (right side up), place the body fabric (right side up) on top of the band fabric, and along the top edge with raw edges matching. Pin along the raw edge.
Place the trim on top of the other 2 fabrics and along the top raw edge, with raw edges matching. Repin all 3 fabrics along the top raw edge.
Take the bottom raw edge of the body fabric and roll the pillowcase Body Fabric up into a narrow tube until it meets the center of the Band Fabric. Pull the Band Fabric up and over the fabric tube and matching the raw edges and pin in place.
Stitch along the top raw edge, using 1/4″ seam allowance. Be careful not to catch the fabric tube in the seam.
Pull the body fabric out one end of the band tube and press flat.
Fold the pillowcase in half with right side’s together, stitch down the side and bottom raw edge of the pillowcase at 1/4″ seam. Leave the folded band edge open. Follow the last straight stitch down each seam with either a zigzag stitch or serger. Leave the Band folded edge open.
Turn right side out and press.
