Hi Debby, sorry for late reply. We’ve been traveling and I’ve not spent much time on my computer.

I have not sewn a fabric backing on the pillow, but I don’t see why you can’t. I would add 1″ to the width and height of your finished pillow front so that you have room to turn the fabric and hem it. Another benefit to a fabric back is that you could make an envelope opening so that you would be able to pop the pillow form out to wash the pillow as needed. Make the back two separate pieces, like I did for these pillow shams.

Send a picture when done! I’d love to see it.

Hugs, Lynn

I am knitting the Christmas tree pillow. It is turning out well, only a third of it done. I was wondering if you ever sewed a fabric back onto the pillow front instead of knitting a back for it. I have noticed many commercially sold pillows have a fabric backing on a knit front. If you have done this, do you have any tips I should be aware of? Thanks for the input!
