Hi friends, Caroline here again. Today I’ve got one of my favorite DIYs to date. I picked up a few coffee sacks from the local antique mall and just knew they needed a new home. On my couch. Paired with pretty designer fabric… and I LOOOOVE how they turned out!
Supplies you need (for an 18″ pillow):
– A burlap coffee sack (I found mine at our local antique mall)
– a little over 1/2 yard of designer fabric
-sewing machine, scissors/rotary cutter, coordinating thread
First, cut out your fabric (measurements used for an 18″ pillow).
Out of the burlap sack, cut an 18.5″ square.
Out of your designer fabric, cut 2 18.5 x 12″ rectangles.
Hem your designer fabric on one end of each of the rectangle pieces.
Place your burlap square right side up & line up the raw edges of one of the rectangle pieces + the burlap. (Right sides should be facing.)
Line up the raw edges on the other side. Your designer fabric will be overlapping.
PIN. All the way around + in the middle.
Sew all the way around your square + flip right side out.
You’ve got yourself a pillow with an envelope closure!
See how easy that was??? Now you’ve got fresh pillows on your couch. You can thank me later 😉

This is awesome! As a huge coffee lover (and as one who loves to sew), this is right up my alley. I’m going to try this ASAP and see how it turns out. Thanks for the great idea!
