Anyways, back to the pillows. I sat down at my craft table and read over the instructions. For some reason I couldn't grasp what was being shown and or written (if you have ever assembled anything by Ikea, you may know what I am talking about.) So after pondering over it for a minute I made it make sense. And away I went, measuring, cutting and sewing.
Ikea Instructions:

Here is what I did:
I found that I need the fabric 20 inches wide x 54 inches long. Lay fabric right side up.
Fold left end 15 1/2 inches toward the middle.
Fold right end 15 inches toward the middle, covering fabric previously folded over.
Each side of the square should measure 20inches (I used a 20in x 20in pillow)
Sew both sides, and turn right side out and wa-la you have an envelope pillowcase.
Much Better...
I do have some plain orange fabric and three more pillows I need to make cases for. To Be Continued...

Those are really cute--I like that fabric. Yeah, darn having to go back to Ikea.
I think I had that figured out, but I might have to have you come and actually show me, should I ever get my lazy arse to pull out the sewing machine. Still haven't done anything to my hooded towels. ;)
