**Choose the Right Fabric**: Go for something that feels good and matches your decor. Cotton is easy to work with, but if you’re feeling fancy, try a nice velvet or linen!

**Measure Twice, Cut Once**: Seriously, don’t skip this step! Measure your pillow form and add an extra inch or so for seam allowances. You don’t want to end up with a pillow that’s too small!

**Use a Rotary Cutter**: If you have one, it makes cutting fabric super easy and gives you nice straight edges. Plus, it’s way quicker than scissors!

**Pin It Down**: Before you start sewing, pin your fabric pieces together. This keeps everything in place and helps avoid any wonky seams.

**Don’t Forget the Zipper**: If you want your pillows to be washable (and who doesn’t?), consider adding a zipper. It’s easier than it sounds, and it’ll save you from having to sew a whole new pillow when it gets dirty!
