You can make throw pillows look new again without using a sewing machine. Because fleece will not ravel, you can tie the edges of a fleece pillow case together to create a no-sew cover for your pillow. For an interesting effect, try using two different colors of fleece, one on each side.
Add 6 inches to both sets of measurements and cut two pieces of fleece out to that size.
3
Lay the two pieces of fleece on top of each other. Place a ruler out about 3 inches from the edge and clip into the fabric at 1-inch intervals, ending up with 1-inch wide, 3-inch long fringe. Start and end clipping in for the fringe 2 ½ inches from each side.
4
Lay the fabric pieces on top of each other, with wrong sides facing each other. Starting in one corner, tie corresponding pieces of fleece together, using a double knot. When you have tied three sides, insert the pillow form, and tie the fringe on the last side together as you did all the others.

I find it easier to cut out a 4" square from each corner to eliminate some of the bulk. I also do this when I'm tying for a fleece blanket.
