I’ve found that once I start working on a project, I tend to do more than one project that is the same. This has been the case a lot recently. I realized that my husband and I both needed new pillow cases, and I thought it would be a lot of fun to make them for us instead of going to the store bought route.

We picked a day and went together to the fabric store to decide which fabric we each wanted for our pillow cases. Once we decided it came down to figuring out exactly what type of pillow cases we wanted. I hadn’t realized there were so many different ways to make pillow cases until I sat down to do this project.

For us, I decided to do the simple cases with just one fabric each. I sewed the fabric into the shape of the case and did a small hem. I finished it off with simple seam finished and viola two finished pillow cases. They took me about twenty minutes each to finish. I’m really happy with how they turned out and we love using them.

I liked having a chance to work on a simple project that worked was something the two of us needed. It made me excited to do something that could mean something to both of us. I love creating for people close to me. It makes all the difference in the world.
