Step 2: Check for Sizing
Place your pillow inside your rug (rug outside facing the pillow). Fold one side of your rug on your pillow, coming about 3/4 of the way across the pillow. Fold the other side of your rug over the first side. My second side came about 3/4 across the pillow again. I was happy with that overlap.
*If you have too much overlap on the second piece, then you will need to cut it off and sew the seam.
Step 3: Sew One Side
Using an upholstery needle (see how much larger it is compared to a regular needle?), sew one side together.
Step 4: Cut and Finish
Place your pillow on top of your rug to check for sizing. Give yourself about an inch or so and cut off any extra fabric.
Stitch the rest of your pillow. Turn the pillow inside out (you can still do this because you created an envelope pillow where you have the overlapped back) and stuff your pillow inside.
