How to make 20 Minute Throw Pillows

Select two cloth napkins of your choice.

Pin your zipper centered on the edge of one napkin, both right sides up. Top stitch zipper to the cloth napkin.

Pin the second napkin to the other side of the zipper, right side facing up, and topstitch into place. Make sure the side edges of your napkins are lined up with each other.

Pin both napkins together, wrong sides facing each other. Do you best to line up each edge and corner. When you use coordinating napkins, as opposed to matching ones, sometimes you have to fudge things around a bit. Stitch around the remaining three edges of your napkin catching each napkin layer.

Unzip your new pillow and stuff in the pillow insert. Toss a few on the couch to add a pop of color to your living room, or put a few on your bed for extra fluff!  These make an easy gift and are a satisfying project to sew up when you have a few minutes to yourself.
