Pillowcases

I'm so excited!  A couple years ago at a craft sale, I made pillowcases.  I'd get a yard of "fun" fabric and make them.  They're super easy!  On the outside of the box they were in, I wrote, "Great stocking stuffers!" 


I decided to make some this year to try and sell them again.  I saw at a fabric store a pillowcase that was hand made and couldn't figure out how they did it! It had 3 different prints of fabric.  They also have French seems,, yeeks!   I looked and looked but couldn't figure it out.  So when I got home, I hopped on line (I love it!!!).  Sure enough,, there was a tutorial with step by step instructions and pictures.


Today I attempted my first set.  I love doing crafts but hate starting something new.  I'm SO pleased how they turned out!!!  Now I can get going on the yards and yards of "fun" fabric I've been picking up here and there! :)

  1. Tammy, that sounds so neat! Do you have the link to the site for the directions for the pillowcases. I'm redoing the girl's room and would love to try this.
