Does anyone know where I can get a easy pattern for pillow shams. I am making a child's quilt & I would like to make a pillow sham to match. Thanks

There's a nice demonstration/directions on you tube. I've made them just by measuring a pillow case; adding inches for the top. the bottom I increased it by 12 inches and cut the piece in two pieces. One 6 inches longer than the other. Then folded one end of each piece in 3 inches after I made a one inch hem. Then I matched the front with the two back pieces - the back pieces will overlap. Sew all around the edges and turn it inside right :)

The video explains it better :)

There are directions in a book by Eleanor Burns also. Sorry I don't remember the name of the book, but it was part of the "Quilt In A Day" series.

You can also insert flanges or ruffles before stitching all around the outside edges and turning it right side out.

You can also insert flanged or ruffled borders before stitching all around the edges and turning right side out.
