These five pillows were Christmas presents for my great-neices, Belle, Emily, Kayla, Kyndal and Mollie.  The butterfly design is from OESD. I used a lightweight cotton for the cover and did the names with Embird.  See instructions below.  It is an easy way to do a removable cover for a pillow.

Step 1:  Cut back cover one inch larger than your pillow form.  Cut the front cover 5-6 inches longer than the back.  Finish the top edge and turn the extra length down right sides together.  Be sure the front piece is the same size as the back piece once it is turned down.

Step 2:  Stitch front and back together on the sides and bottom.  Leave the top (folded edge) open. 

Step 3:  Insert pillow form

Step 4:  Turn the extra length on the front over to the back, and you have a nicely finished pillow.  It is easy to remove if the pillow cover needs washing.  I did not use buttons and any type of closure since these pillows are for children.
