While shopping for fabric to make my Mom a quilt for Christmas (don't tell her its a surprise :)..(I know Christmas is right around the corner again) and I have to get busy sewing many of the gifts I want to make.
Well anyways, I found the same fabric I had used for my first quilt the Double Irish Chain posted about it Here in flannel and thought it would be so warm for winter to make a matching pillow case, so I did. Thank you to YouTube and a wonderful tutorial from Missouri Quilt Co. I was able to make this quick and fun pillow case.
Here is the tutorial I used to make the pillow case. Have fun making the pillow case if you decide to sew one.
I think pillow cases just might be a few gifts all wrapped up under the Christmas tree this year.
Enjoy the tutorial.

ReplyDeleteLovely pillowcase with such a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful link. I've been lost at You Tube looking at all the great tutorials. I do think that the one you selected is very easy to follow. I watched two others and did learn how to do a hidden or French seam, which seems really cool and easy.
ReplyDeleteYour work is always wonderful, Elizabeth. You have a great color and pattern sense.
Cute! And thank you for the link. I am making master bedroom curtains now and I might want to make some decorative pillow cases to match....

ReplyDelete♥Ho! for the leaves that eddy down, Crumpled yellow and withered brown, Hither and yonder and up the street And trampled under the passing feet; Swirling, billowing, drifting by, With a whisper soft and a rustling sigh, Starting aloft to windy ways, Telling the coming of bonfire days.

You are just a well of talent barely tapped into. Just lovely!
