I made these last year for Christmas gifts and everyone LOVED them! I got a simple pillowcase pattern free off the Internet (just google it) and delved into my stash of Christmas fabrics. They were so quick and simple to make. Each present was 2 in the same fabric, which if I am remembering correctly was only a total of 1.5 yards.
Nice to start thinking now about Christmas presents and give yourself plenty of time to make them.
Sincerely,
Levada
