DIY Floor Pillow

So I was so blessed to have my little sister Bethany visit with me for two weeks this summer. While she was here, of course we had to embark on a project. So we decided to make  a floor pillow that she can take to sleepovers, use in front of the TV on the floor, etc.

I didn't use an exact pattern but here is what I did use.

2 1/2 yards each of two different fabrics and 4 pillows. I had some old pillows that we didn't use, so we only had to buy one more.

I started sewing the top horizontal end and one vertical end and then I put in the pillow to see how wide I needed the fabric. Once I was able to measure the width I cut the vertical side to measure and sewed that side leaving only the bottom horizontal side left.
I then turned the fabric right side up.
I then began inserting one pillow at a time and sewing in-between. This part was tricky with the pillow, I recommend giving yourself room to work with. After the last pillow I cut off excess material.

It didn't take too long and I encourage you to try it. Sorry for not a lot of detail, but I am awful with using exact measurements. The other side is also a solid fuscia color. I really liked the colors she picked out.

If you make one I'd love to see it!
