Hair on Hide Pillow case

[RKCrowe]

Good day!

I got some hair on hide remnants, from my brother-in-law. He had a couch recovered with it, and I wanted to make a pillow case, as a thank you. 
  The case would be HOH on one side and upholstery leather on the other side. 
 My question: for a 16x16 pillow, what size should my panels be? Should it be approximately 1/2 the pillow thickness? 
Thank you 

Richard

I don't know but it sure makes me think. I'd assume 18x18 inches would produce a 16x16 that's 2inches thick in the middle. Going with 19x19 to make sure. ~3" thick. 

 

You can always buy the thin foam craft sheets. Cut the panel sizes and glue them together. Do a mock up. The foam craft sheets are about as thick as 4-5oz. I've used it to mock up holsters. Worked for me.
