Sewing for Kids - Simple Pillowcases

As I child my siblings and I had Christmas pillowcases. I remember every year when we got out the Christmas decorations we would get out our Christmas pillowcases. I still remember what mine looked like! I really don't know why, but that pillowcase was/is one of my favorite Christmas memories. 

At Halloween time I made my kids matching Halloween pillowcases, you can check those out over on Instagram, they loved them. They showed them to everyone that came to our house, so at that time I decided it would be fun to make them Christmas pillowcases. They actually wanted Thanksgiving pillowcases too, but I thought that was a little extreme, maybe next year.

Anyways, last week I picked up these darling Riley Blake Christmas fabrics at my local quilt shop, Quilted Works. I wanted to make their pillowcases with coordinating fabrics to eliminate fighting, I'm sure some of you can relate. :)

I used the Crafty Gemeni's YouTube tutorial to make the pillowcases, I know, I've made enough of them that I shouldn't need a tutorial, but it's just a nice little reminder. :)

Oh, and I tried really hard to take a good picture of my kids....this was the best they could do!

Simple Chevron Pillow Tutorial

We love pillows!

They are simple to make, and add so much to any room.

Today Kathleen has created a darling tutorial for Simple Chevron Pillows.

Pillow Swap {South Jordan Modern Quilt Guild}

Last night at the Modern Quilt Guild we had a pillow swap. The rule was, make an 18" modern pillow, I guess we were supposed to use a solid color but somehow we missed that part. ;)

Kathleen and I made matching pillows using a little bit of Hometown by Sweetwater. I love them, I really want to make a couple more to go on my red couch, they'd look so cute wouldn't they!

This darling dresden pillow is the one that I ended up with. I love it! I love dresdens and happy colors. I think that Jamie actually made both of our pillows. Thanks Jamie!

Kathleen came home with this super cute aqua pear pillow. I love it, I think she should leave it in the studio for me to admire all day every day. ;)

Making the pillows was actually really fun, Kathleen taught me  how to insert a zipper in a pillow and I might say, if I had all day every day to sew for myself I could totally get addicted to making pillows.

Thanks for visiting our quilting blog!
