How to make a body pillow or any size pillow or pillow cover for cheap. Under $5

This is a super easy tutorial on how to make a body pillow for almost nothing. These directions can be used for any size square or rectangle pillow. All you need is one yard of fabric or less depending on your size of pillow.
 Supplies:
1) sewing needle and thread our sewing machine.
2) 1/2 to 1 yard of fabric (I bought mine from Wal-Mart for 3.97 per yard but peddlers malls and thrift shops often have almost free fabric or you can use old curtains, sheets, or any fabric you have on hand)
3) ruler or tape measurer
4) light marker or pencil

These are the two I personally made. The pictures from here on out are pictures to demonstrate each simple step. I got them from Google images so they come from various sources.

The tune it takes for this project depends on how you're doing it. If you're using a sewing machine it can take ten min. If you're sewing by hand it can take an hour but it really depends on your speed.

Step 1: lay your fabric out and measure each side and use a ruler to draw your lines with a light colored marker or pencil then cut along the lines then do exactly the same to another piece.

Step 2: lay them with right side of fabric facing in towards each other like the pillow is inside out. Pin each side so it stays out and lined up correctly as you sew. 

Just a side note, you can use iron on hemming tape if you would rather not sew. Follow the sabe directions here until the sewing portion then follow hemming tape directions then continue to follow directions here.

Step 3: after pinning start sewing all the way around until there's about four inches left not sewed. Stop here for now

Step 4: turn right side out and poke corners out with your fingers

Step 5: fill with Cotton, batting, feathers or whatever you choose. I cut open old pillows I had and used that.

Step 6: curl the edges in and pin. Sew the rest of the way.

Voila! You're done!
