It's Secret Friend week at our house. My daughter whipped up this quick pillowcase for her "friend". He was thrilled last night. It's great sewing practice for kids; they get to sew lots of seams. Super easy - you need 2 half yard cuts, cut them into 6" strips, so you'll have 6 strips, sew them together, fold in half, serge or zig-zag your opening, then make a 1 inch fold and sew a nice little finishing stitch on top (did a double stitch) & then sew the two inside seams. Voila -surprise! We have the fabrics shown, if you want to whip one up. Check out the Goodie Bag to the right for the free pattern/instructions. ~Corrie

thank you Quilt Taffy - my niece wants to learn how to sew & this pattern is perfect for young hands - i'll even let her pick out the fabric.
ReplyDeleteOh this is cute!! I can see making a few to match some quilts, not FANCY shams just some cute pillowcases. How nice of your daughter to make one for her 'friend' ;)
