In 2025 I made some pillowcases in anticipation of needing some 'big sister' and 'big brother' gifts for some older siblings of new babies that were due to be born during the year. And two of the pillowcases were sent my little cousins in Australia as Happy New Year presents.
I do love these owls that have been in my stash for a while!
And this boat fabric has also been waiting to be used...
And I know a couple of boys who will adore these monster trucks!
This woodlands flora print is sweet...
I make the pilllowcases by using the Roll It Up method, as shared by American Patchwork & Quilting on their website (for their One Million Pillowcases Challenge).
It involves French seams, and makes a nice big pillowcase.
First you layer the two fabrics, and roll up the main part so it is sitting inside the end-band.
Then you unroll the case and line up the side hems, to sew as a French seam.
The French seam helps prevent fraying as there are no exposed seams.
