Cute Pillowcases!

The main color fabrics I used for these pillowcases I found in the remnants section of Hobby Lobby, about 3/4 of a yard or so. The contrast I picked from the regular bolts but only needed a third of a yard or less. Easy project, kids would love them made up in holiday or novelty prints!! This is one of the projects we will make in the Sewing Basics 1 class, which will start Thursday, October 13, and will go for 5 weeks. Register now!!

I love costumes, I've made some for my family and helped with the school musicals a few times (haha, more like a dozen). This year I'm working on a couple of costumes for family that will be pretty memorable, so stay tuned!
