DIY Pillow Covers

My husband has never been fond of the throw pillows I bought for our couch years ago. So since they've been getting kind of dingy (they do not have removable covers, thus never been washed...ewwww), I figured it was time to give in to Matt and look for new throw pillows. ;-)
I found some really cute ones at HomeGoods recently but I wanted more than two. I had a couple old throw pillows with ugly covers hidden away in one of those vacuum storage bags. So I pulled them out and removed the covers...and surprise! They were actually pretty nice feather pillow underneath. 
Here are the pillows with no covers on them...

I had material from old white curtains (Ikea, hem-your-own ones), so I decided this would be the most budget-friendly way of making new pillow covers. I followed this tutorial  from my dear friend, Katie's AMAZING blog! See her step by step instructions for these pillow covers (her fabric is super cute...and I don't have to type out the instructions...win-win!).

Here are the curtains before I cut them up (notice my little kitty helper, Miles).

I was able to finish the first one during Evelyn's nap and the second one during an episode of 30 Rock...see, these truly ARE simple to make!

Here are some pictures of the finished product!

Okay, so not the most flashy pillows ever, but I needed 
something neutral, inexpensive and easy to wash.
