Pillowcases for Gifts

Amazing what can be done in a relatively short amount of time, and if you don’t have many interruptions. (I have lots, so it takes me much longer than I normally estimate.) I thought I might be over my pillowcase craze, but it’s hard to stop. This doll pillow and quilt for my goddaughter was made with just some muslin, scraps, a repurposed baby receiving blanket and essentially 1/2 yard of fabric.

The receiving blanket, the thin kind that comes in three-packs, became the quilt batting. After quilting, I threw the blanket in the washer and dryer, to get that vintage-y feel.

Perfect for that special doll or plushy… this one is Sally, the Webkinz collie.

Made this cute Envelope Pillowcase for Valentine’s Day.

Jo-Ann Fabrics has some whimsy graphic prints. My girl is really into the peace sign

I’m considering the pillowcase project again for the local hospital, but this time, enlisting some help early on. Eventually, it might be something that could be a partnership and not just during the holidays. Just food for thought.
