Holiday Pillowcases 
This has been the most POPULAR gift item I have ever made! Young children, teens, and even adults enjoy these pillowcases! An easy sewing project for a beginning sewer.
Parental supervision is recommended.
This project is rated AVERAGE to do.
What You Need
- 1 yard of Holiday fabric (42" to 45" wide) or an old Adult size Tshirt
- Sewing machine
- Matching thread (match to background color)
- Measuring tape
- Straight pins
- Iron
How To Make It
 Match selvages together, right sides together. Pin sides and one end.
- Sew, using 5/8" seam allowance, one end of the pillowcase closed.
- Sew up the selvage end. Be sure to backtack all beginning and ending seams.
- Fold over the open end 1/4" from the top (wrong sides together). Sew along this edge.
- Fold over 3" from the top (again to the wrong sides). Sew along this edge.
- Turn pillowcase right side out.
- Press with iron.
Tips
Watch the sales at your local fabric store. The sales on holiday fabrics seem to appear about 3 weeks before the holiday. If you wait until after the holiday, you can get even better prices!
Be sure to figure out how many people (hey! Grownups like these too!) you will want to make pillowcases for and buy enough material. My cousins, aunts, and friends have loved these pillowcases! They are great for sleepovers as everyone will KNOW which one is your pillowcase!
