Stash busting: Foam Block Cover

 

It's an odd shaped pillow, not one that I will be using for laying my weary head upon.  This one is for the back of a chair, made for back care.  It's basically two pieces of foam rectangles on top of each other.  

There is a zippered opening for easy access to the foam pieces when the cover requires cleaning.  

The pattern was drawn onto the fabric by outlining the shape of the foam and adding sides and seam allowances.  An invisible zipper was cut down to fit the length of one side.  The 100% cotton home décor fabric was left over from this project.  It was previously pre-treated with a tumble in the washing machine and dryer.
