Pillow Cover from Napkins

Today I am showing you how to make a pillow cover from something you already have on hand...something simple like cloth napkins. 
I started with

2 new white cloth napkins and a pillow insert.
 I wrote on one of the napkins a good daily reminder...because 
"all you need is love and love is all you need".
Yes, I know who the Beatles are, even at my young age.
You can stencil it or writing it by hand.
Then I got my sewing machine out and I sew 3 of the 4 sides.
Like this
Make sure to sew the napkins "inside out",

Turned the cover the right way and
insert pillow. 
I opted to just sew the pillow inside this time.
(the fourth side)
Easy right?
This is such a fun way to repurpose cloth napkins into something totally different.
Have fun.
Stay Frugal,

    You make everything seem so do-able Dani. I can't really see but you inspire me to make my own pillow! What a great way to use some extra napkins.

    Such a smart idea Daniela! I will never look at napkins the same way again. =) I will forever see them as sweet pillow slips!
