Reply To: Pillow Sham Tutorial Question

Don’t worry, you won’t botch it.  🙂  The measurements are correct.  9 1/2″ minus the 1 1/2″ (for seam allowance and hem) is 8″.  There are two sides to the back so 8 + 8 is 16″.  It’s a 12″ pillow so that means you have 4″ extra if you subtract the 16″.   Divide that by the 2 sides means that each side is going to overlap by 2″.  Good luck and I’d love to see a picture when you finish. 🙂
