Re: pillow shams

I made a pillow like that recently to match the wedding quilt. I think
ironing some fusible interfacing in to the "flange" area would make it
stand out nicer. I made the flange about 2 inches wide- any wider and
I'd be afraid they'd flap! I used the process others have described-
just made the pillow cover wider and stitched around it for the flange.
Also, I like my pillows plump, so I make the cover about 2 inches
smaller than the pillow form measures and jam the pillow form into the
cover. Probably cut the square for the body, sew the different flange
fabric around the sides, then stitch the flange at the seam? I like to
use a zipper on my pillow covers so they can be removed and washed-
just cut the back side 2 in. wider and cut it in half, baste back
together and install the zipper and continue with the construction.
