Glue the Edge

Unlike sewing, in which you would put the right sides of each fabric piece together in preparation for sewing a seam, in this case you put the wrong sides together, so that the right side of the fabric is facing you. Grab your bottle of fabric glue, and squirt a thin line of it alongside one of the edges, o/n the inside of your fabric. Try not to use too much glue, or it might bleed through thinner materials.

After one fabric edge is glued, gently and slowly match up the other piece of fabric and press gently to make sure it adheres to the bottom piece. Let dry about 5 minutes before going on to the next edge and repeating the same step. Glue together three edges of the pillow cover and let dry for a few minutes.
