Recent purchases of pillowcases has resulted in a lot of wrinkles after washing. I just smooth them out, fold and put on the shelf. By the time I put them on the bed, they are presentable enough. Might as well be coordinated rather than plain colors or white!
I am making these throughout the year for my grandsons in FL. Someone mentioned to me about the wrinkling of the cotton and I wondered if a poly/cotton mix would be better. Of course, like you, I am trying to use fabric from my stash so that I can use up a lot of holiday type fabrics (Christmas, Halloween, Fall, Valentines Day, etc.) and really the kids don't care or notice! Maybe for adults I would go for the mixed fabric. The cases are almost instant gratification!
