We're really into this gadget. We're not saying that sew a pillowcase is some big deal. But if you do not like the sewing machine or the design of the pads at hand and often change according to the season and mood, a clever guide to the quick production of "without sewing" will save you a lot of work after all. Having a new pillow ready in five minutes – that's great!
1. Prepare a strip of fabric measuring 3x the size of the pillowcase in width and the length of 2x the size of the pad + 10 cm extra. Therefore, for a pillow measuring 50×50 cm, you will need a fabric of 150 cm x 110 cm.
2. Place the pad in the middle on the reverse side of the fabric. The lower halves of the fabric knead into the center of the pillow.
3. Then, equally, knead the top half. We added ten centimeters extra so that the layers had enough overlap over each other.
4. Turn the fabric on the sides into a spike – similar to when you pack gifts in a box. If you are meticulous, at the moment you can take an iron and iron the spikes – you will create the perfect edges for them (see video).
5. Then flip the top over the pillow and compare, do the same with the right spike.
6. Tie both tips in the middle of the tie classically into a neat square knot.
7. You can either let the protruding tips look at the bows or put them underneath like here in the picture.
8. And now it's up to you to put the pillow on the couch with a more ornate side with the knot up, or the classically smooth side.
