Has anyone made a wrap around pillow cover?
I found a link with the steps to make various sizes of wrap around pillow covers. I had seen this method used for teaching Children learning to sew their own pillow. One long strip of fabric is used as you will see in the link below:

I wondered if I could quilt the fabric and then proceed with the wrap or if it may be too bulky. Please advise if you have made a pillow cover like this. Thank you!

Oh, to answer your question yes you can quilt your fabric, applique it, embellish it anyway you choose before making the pillow cover. I cut fabrics a little larger than needed, do my quilting/ embellishments then cut to size (adding a 1/2” to accommodate the thicker fabric/ seam allowance)

Awesome idea I have been planning to cover my sofa pillows and this will make it easy to remove and wash them. I had forgotten my mom used to make them this way. Thanks for posting.
