I was am so excited to be a Guest Designer here at Craft Warehouse. I have a soft spot for Craft Warehouse since they are the first ones to give me a chance as a designer. I have been on the Design Team twice and have moved on to other wonderful opportunities and Design Teams.
For my project I wanted to do some sewing and so I received the cutest fabrics from Moda, the Vintage Modern Collection. I decided to make a simple, but cute pillowcase for my Daughter.
Supplies:
1 yard of solid for back and end of pillowcase
4-5 fat quarters for your quilted part of the pillowcase
Embroidery Floss (Optional)
Trim of your choice
Step 1: Cut out 30 4 1/2" squares.
Step 2: Sew 5 rows of 6 squares.
Step 3: Press
Step 4: Sew your rows together.
Step 5: Press.
Step 6: Quilt as desired.
Step 7: Cut from your solid piece, a piece 20x12 and sew 1 end to the top.
Step 8: Embroider "Sweet Dreams" or other saying (optional)
Step 9: After Embroidering fold your solid piece in half and sew it down leaving a nice top stitch on the outside of your pillowcase.
Step 10: Take the solid piece 20x32 and on one of the longer sides sew a 2" hem leaving you with a piece that is 20x30 and with right sides together sew along the bottom and both long sides.
Step 11: Turn right side out.
Step 12: Add Trims. I added the Lace around the edge and I also added some ribbons to tie the pillowcase shut.
Stuff with your favorite pillow and put on your bed and admire.

I hope you have enjoyed my easy project today. I would love to see what your working on leave me a link in the comments and I will check it out.
This is soooo cute! My daughter has been begging that we do a sewing project together this summer. This looks like it could be the perfect thing for us! Thanks for sharing. :)
