It was a simple iron-on transfer. I used cotton fabric, and on the t-shirt printer setting it reversed the picture for me and then printed it out. I ironed the pictures on the cut 20x20 fabric for an 18x18 pillow insert($7 at walmart). For a tight fit, you could go 18 1/2 to allow for seams, but I wanted to make sure I had wiggle room.
For the back I used an overlap method with 2 fabrics sizes 20x16 and 20x8 to allow for a 2 inch overlap. I sewed 1 raw edge over on each and then pinned the pieces overlapping together to make 1 piece. With right sides together, I sewed the 2 new pillow pieces together and YAY!
*You could do this on a pre-bought pillow case as well. Just make sure you check what type of fabric is needed for your iron-on transfer paper. Usually cotton and cotton/polly blends are required.
Happy Mother's Day!
