The fabric looks like one of those impressionist paintings. Nicely done.

Very nice fabric. I love the pillowcase pattern. They are so quick & easy & professional looking. Not to mention fun & useful. Your Mom will love all of your great gifts for sure. Fantastic job!

I love the pillowcases! I love Vincent Van Gogh's work and definitely need some of that fabric.

I made pillowcases for a some of my friend's who also have dachshunds 2 years ago for Christmas. They were a huge hit. I'm sure your mom will love those.

I love them! I love making pillowcases too, one suggestion, since your accent strip is a little wide, you may want to put a decorative stitch down the center of it, looks nice, and keeps it from crinkling up when washed!

Great fabric find!! The pillowcases are adorable.

Not a bad idea on the accent strip! Future pillowcases, I think, will have narrower bands - I don't really like how wide it is, but since it was my first time using that pattern I stuck with what they recommended. I think I'd prefer it about half that wide.

I have a pretty big stash of vintage lace - I think for my mother-in-law and my grandmother-in-law I will use a couple rows of lace as the accent strip. I think it'll look nice and it suits their style. I was also thinking that I could use some satin, for a little bit of shine... For my niece (who is super into skeletons right now) I have some ribbon with dancing skeletons that I was thinking I could use to gussy up a plain fabric strip...

SO many fun possibilities!!

Your pillowcases are wonderful - starry night is such a great painting!

When you have time, could you post the link for the magic pillowcase? I helped my great niece make a quilt for her this summer and would love to make pillowcases for her for Christmas.

Thanks

I love your pillowcases. When did you get the fabric. My niece is getting married in Dec and that is the print she has used for all her invitations. I made her some Mickey Mouse pillowcases for her shower but these would be great.

Love your fabrics!! And the pillowcases are one of my favorite things to make! Wonderful job and ideas u have!

I bought that same fabric to make something for my daughter, it is her favorite picture. I was not sure what I wanted to do.
Thanks for the idea! It is not a bad price for the fabric. I may need another yard I only bought 1 yard. thanks!
