Any way to make this work?
I bought material from Ikea today. I kinda fussy cut it. Each panel has one big starburst on it. It's plenty long enough one direction, but way short on the other (pillow is square, material is rectangle). Is there a way to make an envelope design?

Re: Any way to make this work?
Are you talking something like this?
You could do it out of one length of material, with the triangle cut out on top, fold the square part in half, then just sew up the sides and fold the finished flap over. I hope that makes sense, lol.
If you're talking the one with the four corners that come together, like this
you could sew together the triangles for the front into a square, then sew the back square to it.
FYI, I used to work at IKEA in that section and the reason that particular fabric is a rectangle is because it's not regular fabric, but is already sewn down the sides for use with a sliding curtain system they have.

You could still do it that way. Just make the front piece with the tfour triangles, then make the back piece by cutting out a square with a triangle on top (kind of like a house), then sew the three bottom sides, flip the top over, and attach the button.
I found this one on Pinterest and she makes it with four front triangles, just making the top and bottom ones bigger. If your goal is to actually have an opening for the pillow on top, you could just sew the bottom triangle on top of a square of fabric and do the "house" shaped back piece. I couldn't find anything else similar on Pinterest, but I know it's there somewhere, I've seen it.

I just found this on pinterest but the tutorial link isn't working. I'm not a sewer so I don't know if this will help you at all.
