Ikea Hack

My co-worker, Eden, just moved into a new apartment at the same time I did, so we hit the local disposable furniture purveyor and shopped with wild abandon. She couldn't find throw pillows that fit her ideal color scheme, but we found this dishtowels that coordinated perfectly. So I made them into pillow covers!

After

I didn't want to cut the dishtowels, in case my friend didn't like the outcome or decided she'd rather have dishtowels than pillows, plus I didn't want to buy or fiddle with zippers, so I just made the closure a fold over, like those cheap sandwich bags. They turned out nicely, if I do say so myself! And Eden is happy. Yay!
