I bought two kits for pillow cases one time I was out at quilt shops. I just finished making them up for Tristen. They went quite quickly and turned out ok. The kit did not really allow enough of the blue fabric to do a larger than standard size pillow case. When I made the first it was just the right size for the pillow and I would have liked it a bit larger. When I came to do the second one it would not work out that way and so I did it differently.
Here is the first one being tried out by Tristen.
The second one I did the other way and so had to fudge it. I made an envelope style but with straight edges and a tie.
He was happy enough. When I make his dinosaur quilt I will make two more pillow cases to use as shams that are usable. All the colour's go together so that's not a problem

Linens are one thing I enjoy. I have so many vintage tings. You did a great job on the pillow slips.
ReplyDeleteTristen is sooo cute! He looks absolutely delighted. He's a lucky boy to have a Mom who can make him such wonderful things! I remember when my Michael was that age. It was so much fun making things for him. So you like the quilt shops too, huh? My sister and I spend huge amounts of time in the shops here. I love making quilts. Fabric is like chocolate: you can never have too much! Happy sewing! Hugs, Terri
