Men's large shirt + pillow forms = ruffly pillows!
To make these find an men's shirt (preferable size large). If your pillows are small then you should be able to get two pillow cases out of the shirt. Trace your pillow (with seam allowance!) twice on the back, cut out, then twice on the front while the shirt is buttoned together, cut that out too.
The pieces without buttons are the front side of the pillows.
Cut the sleeves open and take the seams and cuffs off. Cut thin strips down the length of the sleeves.
Baste and gather, then sew onto the front !
Pin the front and back of a pillow together (ruffles and buttons facing inward!) and sew all the way around the pillow! Using the button side for the back allows you to take the pillow case on and off to be washed or swapped out! It even has a "cell phone pocket"!
