My fabric is from an old bench that stood in my childhood home. The bench was broken the fabric was stained but in good condition, so I decided to reuse it.

My pillow was 65 cm. /26" square. I cut 1 length of fabric 155 cm. /61" long and 67 cm./ 26.4" wide. As you can see I got help with the math.

Overlock all sides of the fabric to prevent fraying. I made a 2.5 cm./1" hem at one end of the fabric. Bottom picture shows the hem that will be visible once my pillow case is finished.
