I love them!! They were quick and easy. :wink: Our pillows get to smelling when the menfolk use them when they're sweaty--so after a time they're unaceptable and don't pass my inspection. So--why not have regular pillows for comfort--and make them look good with washable covers? :D

I did add a few minor steps to the directions Bev posted in "Chit Chat" to make it easier. Thanks for posting those, Bev!!

So much fun to pick fabrics.

I bet when my daughter comes home and sees them, there will be a request for some for her dorm. :D

Oh Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are fantastic Karla. I love the fabrics you chose and ohhhhhhhhhhhh I just LOVE them....

That's sort of how I made my pillow cases. But, I have to say, I needed to actually be shown! It was very hard understanding the written directons.

The only differences in my pillow cases were dimensions and I stitched up both sides at the same time and turned the pillowcase inside out and stitched up the french seam. When I turned it right side out, it was done.

those are great, I need to make some
