Pillow cases

Last month we decided to let Sweet Pea have a pillow in her bed when she moved into a toddler bed. I had the perfect pillow that my sister had made to match a quilt but since the main color was white I thought it needed a case.

What you'll need to do is measure your pillow and then add a 4 inches to the length and 2 to the width. After you've got it measured and cut; fold over and press the the top part about a 1/4 inch. Take the fabric for the cuff and fold it in half. Pin the raw edge of the cuff on the inside of the longer part and sew it around. Then pin the right sides and sew it together. Turn it right side out and your are done.

The second pillowcase I pinned the cuff to the longer part right sides together but the bottom of the cuff is at the longer side so that the cuff will flip over when it is sewn on. Then pin the sides (right sides together) and sew together. Turn right side out. Then fold and press the top part and do a top stitch.
Now that she has had a pillow there is no going back. She always asks for it now.
