Sweet Dreams Pillowcase

Here is a pillowcase I pieced together from scraps. It is for my DGD's birthday. I recently made her rice bags from the same scraps. She should have sweet dreams with her heated rice bags and her flannel pillowcase. :)

Lovely! Did you line the inside for the seams in the washing machine times?
I saw a pillowcase recipe today for using strips, when you have the strips assembled to the right size and all pressed the same direction you do a topstitch on the top just a little ways from the seam line. I think I'm getting hooked on making pillowcases :)
Well done and she will love the rice bag!

You know, I didn't, however I wish I had done that. When I was looking at how nice all the seams were enclosed with the French seaming... It made me realize that those other seams 'might' not hold up.

I am like you, I am hooked on pillowcases now. I am making one for her brother and two male cousins for Christmas. The fabric is space with the planets in bright colors.

The pillowcase looks great - love the patchwork. I would not have thought about the other seams either, KalamaQuilts had a good idea.

Pillowcases are something I may look into for next year's presents!

I have a question. If you use scraps and have seams in all over is that unconfortable on your face? Since I sleep face down. Plus what is a rice bag? Thanks,
