Great idea, Minnie... but do the plastic bags make any... ahem... "funny noises" when you sit on them??

A couple of squishes but your get used to it!! It's not like a whoopi cushion lol

I make a lot of my pillow covers with the overlap on the back.Then i keep using the same pillow forms,but change out the covers seasonally or whenever the mood hits.It's very easy to store just the cover,they take up barely any space.

Actually, stuffing the pilows with the "wal-mart" bags ( as we call them around here) is a pretty good idea for pillows that would be outside - if they get caught in the rain, just unstuff, dry out ..or toss ...the insides, dry the cover and off you go! Not going to have much of a musty problem . I am from Houston and humidity is a way of life down here....we grow mold on things left outside overnight....I swear it is true!

I wanted to bring this up again before Chritmas especially forgals who might like to make some for sales. I used the preprinted pillow material but it is a nice way to use up extra squares you might have made for samples. 1 in the photo shows the stuffing (yes, plastic bags) 2 shows them stuffed into the pillow form and 3 shows the finished pillow from the front.

They squeak a little but they are for show. BTW they are very nice and are form fitting for an afternoon nap!!

I use Kathy's method. Three pillow forms and a good collection of pillow covers.
