Are you envious of the homey patio pictures you find on Pinterest?  Part of what makes an appealing patio, perfect for entertaining, is by using cheerful patio pillows for decor.  You could run out and buy a bunch of patio pillows but why miss out on the fun of making your own and giving your patio an even more personal touch.  Not only will you have more fabric options, but, in this tutorial, I show you how to use striped fabric to create the mitered square design.  I love how this looks and it's really amazing the different looks you can get even with the same fabric by using this method.  I finish this pillow off with an invisible zipper so it looks sleek and makes it easy to slip a pillow in and out.  These pillows look so great, your guests will be asking you where you bought them from and you can proudly tell them that you made them yourself.
