outdoor pillow fabric by the yard
A few fresh throw pillows can turn a tired patio into a spot you actually want to linger, and shopping for outdoor pillow fabric by the yard lets you create exactly the look you have in mind. Buy only what you need, mix prints and solids, and sew covers that fit your cushions perfectly.
What to Look for in Outdoor Pillow Fabric
Not every decor fabric is built for sun, humidity, and the occasional spilled drink. When comparing options, check each product description for these qualities:
- Fade resistance: UV-resistant outdoor fabric, such as solution-dyed acrylic, is made to hold its color in direct sun.
- Moisture protection: Water-repellent or weather-resistant fabric helps pillows dry faster and resist mildew.
- Durable weave: A medium-weight outdoor upholstery fabric holds its shape and stands up to everyday use.
- Easy care: Look for fabrics that can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water.
Planning Your Pillow Project
How Much Fabric Do You Need?
Measure your pillow inserts and add a seam allowance on every side. Ordering a little extra makes it easier to center a bold print or match stripes across seams.
Style Ideas
Pair a lively pattern with a coordinating solid, or use the same patio cushion fabric on chairs and pillows for a pulled-together look.
