How to Make Fall Pillow Covers

Directions

1. Measure your pillow cover's full length, then divide it into three equal parts. Cut two-thirds from black fabric and one-third from orange pumpkins fabric.
2. Sew a hem along the edge of your pillow cover, then attach decorative buttons.
3. Use Cricut fusible fabric to cut out a Halloween pumpkin shape with your Cricut Maker, employing the rotary blade for the appliques.
4. Apply the fusible fabric to your pillow covers by pressing each section for a few seconds. For extra security, you can stitch around it, but it's optional.
5. Load the Halloween Subway art design in Cricut Design Space. Since your pillow is about 16x16 inches and the mat only handles 12 inches wide, split the design to fit a roughly 12x15 inch area, requiring two mats.
6. Cut the subway art design from black iron-on vinyl using your Cricut Maker. Remember to mirror the image in Design Space before cutting, then weed away the excess vinyl.
7. Transfer the iron-on to burlap with the Cricut EasyPress. Following the temperature guide, press at 305°F for 30 seconds.
8. When sewing burlap, consider switching to a zig-zag stitch (though not required). Then follow an envelope pillow cover tutorial to cut burlap to the correct size for your pillow.
