ugly pillow cover up

So I found these hideous pillows in my basement and thought they needed a makeover so I made a tutorial for (super) EASY pillow covers.
Youll need a sewing machine, fabric and a pillow to cover.
 
Step 1: To get the size youll want to lay a piece of fabric down and then lay the pillow on top cut down the side and then flip the pillow so its doubled and keep cutting untill the size is twice the size of the pillow.
 
Step 2: Grab one short side of the fabric and fold it over a few centimeters and start sewing. I used a heart stitch you could really use anyone you choose
 
Step 3: Sew down both sides of the short ends leaving a third of a inch or so at the end
 
Step 4: Your gunna want to lay your fabric out Print side up then fold each end into eachother like shown.
 


 
Step 5: Showing how you want it folded to begin to sew
 
Step 6: Sew a straight line all the way down both of the sides that have not been sewn yet (the top and bottom of the pillow case)
 
Step 7: Trim all excess fabric around the sewn edges
 
Step 8: Turn inside out and insert pillow
