Kids PillowBed
I made this for my grand daughter, and am making them for my grandsons for Christmas!
It's this simple... 2 1/5 yards of 60 inch fabric, and four standard pillows. I used Jersey Knit, fold your selvages under and sew them down.
Lay down inside out, folded over as a pillow sham is folded. But, just so a standard pillow will lay end to end across the folded fabric. Sew the ends closed.
Turn the long giant sham right side out. Lay out flat and nice, mark across at 21 inch intervals down to make your pillow cases for each one. It's 3 seams for four pillows. Sew on these marks across the right side of the fabric.
That's it! Slip your Standard pillows in and it's done.
They fold easy and can be tied with a ribbon to store or gift.

Martha Stewart does something similar... but differently. It's picture 5 in this list of 19 outdoor ideas. You could do the same thing with the kid fabric and use it on the floor.

I made another. It took me about an hour. I am making them for my grandkids, two girls, 6 boys. I am putting the pillows in the ones who live here, and shipping just the sham and a gift certificate for the pillows to the kids who live away. 3 in DC.
