I have been busy making pillow cases the way Missouri Quilt Co showed the tutorial on youtube.
she loves butterflies [ATTACH=CONFIG]242549[/ATTACH] Pittsburg Steeler fan [ATTACH=CONFIG]242550[/ATTACH] should use a diffrent color piping? [ATTACH=CONFIG]242551[/ATTACH] |
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 |

Love the horse 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. |

They will love the cases.. I made my DD & family cases for Christmas last yr. Thinking of doing more this year too. I just use a neutral color for the cases, and add embroidery to the cuff part, or a pretty print that goes w/her decor. I've made my grandkids little cases for their pillows, and square ones for their couch pillows. There's so many ways to do them... Enjoy..... Your cases are really nice..

nice work ! love Missouri Star Quilt Co utubes ! thanks for sharing !
|
Nice pillow cases!
I've been Using that same tut. Isn't it awesome how they come out so nice? |
I made up some of these the other evening. My Dh said wow those look like the ecpensive kind, lol,, I made them out of some of the fabric I has bought from the board members here. lol,, love yours!!
|
Love the pillow cases.
|
I've got to make 2 pair tomorrow. One pair for a coworker of dd's who's going to college and the other pair for another coworker who just redecorated her bedroom. I just love the kids at Starbucks! I'm the store mom, and I love it!!
|
I made four last night. The kids found more soccer and volleyball fabrics. They must have at least 4 or 5 in those fabrics alone. I make them for all holidays, a birthday one, to match their sleep pants that I make for Christmas or the sleep shorts I make for summer. The occasions are endless. We all go to the beach for vacation and every year they get a new "beach" pillowcase. Before long they could put a different one on their pillow each week for a year. LOL

Love that tute, among others. Jenny is so much fun to watch. Love your pillowcases!!! :D

Your pillowcases look great. Don't you love the "hot dog" method for making them...so easy, and they look great. Did you do the french seams?
|
Beautiful cases :D:D:D
|
Love making and gifting pillowcases...so many fun fabrics to make them out of!!
|
I made these same pillowcases for every family member last Christmas. I even had the identical horse fabric for our oldest granddaughter!
For the grandkids, I made fabric composition book covers to match so that they could journal, draw or whatever! They seemed very happy. Sue |
