Category

Sew 4 Home shares an easy tutorial to sewing ruffled pillow shams, helping you refresh a bedroom or guest room with custom, boutique-style bedding. Sized for standard 20 by 26-inch bed pillows, the covers bring a soft, romantic feel to your setup.

The project is built on straight seams and simple rectangular cuts, making it a great confidence booster for beginners. A gentle gathered ruffle frames all four edges, while neat back button closures keep your pillow inserts tucked securely inside with zero gaping. Using crisp linen, breathable cotton percale, or a soft floral poplin gives you a high-end look without store-bought prices. Pick out your favorite yardage, cut your fabric rectangles, and sew these lovely DIY ruffled pillow shams for a quick bedroom makeover!
