WTG, and I like the no cleaning and no cooking, too!

LOL, who's napping on the couch?

BTW, pray for them. Momma of little one who gave her up to foster care at age two days, now wants her back at age 7

Here is the video I watched to make these pillowcases. They really are very easy. My first pillowcase took a while but after I did four of them, It was really easy to do.

I don't use a separate end of fabric, I just do a contrast strip. After a while I developed my rythem and some short cuts and reduced my time from about 45 minutes to about 15--------sew, iron, fold, sew, iron, fold..........

But my back hurts after a couple hours

In different times that absentee mother could be a big help to that family and start helping out around the house where her daughter has been sheltered and protected for all these years ... <sigh>

My, my, my, you Ladies were busy.

I take my HAT OFF to you all. That is incredible. Having you both working as a team for encouragement definitely helped i am sure. I cannot believe you had so much variety of stunning materials to use as well. That part is still mind blowing.... :lol:

That is amazing. Now, where do you send them?
