They are so fun. It is so wonderful when you can give something so personal and so fun

yes they are and you can whip them up real fast. Children really like them.

Fun aren't they?

Just curious as to how you are giving them as gifts. Hope it's okay to ask. I have seen a pillowcase given with a coordinating book. Are you giving sheets with them? Do they match existing bed quilts?

I wanted to make one for my nephew for christmas and wasn't sure what fabric to use or how to make it as a gift.

BTW, the pillowcases came out great.

I also saw your question about the third one. it looks nice but maybe a little more contrasting middle (piping) fabric would be even better like a medium brown? Love the horse fabric

The pink one I will give a book with it and the horse one will have a toy car with it. They all have sheets and I thought to have their very own pillowcase would be neat. I used cotton fabric .
After seeing the picture on here I will use a medium brown for piping. Thank you very much for looking.
I bought the horses at Walmart. They really have a nice selection of fabric now.
