Tutorial - Make a Christmas Applique Pillow Sham

Embellish with embroidery stitches if you want

Tutorial at Mabey She Made It Blog

"I was feeling inspired to do some Christmas pillow shams when I was working on this Advent Calendar the other day. There’s something cozy and fabulous about a good-quality felt. And it’s fun for appliqué because it’s sturdy and doesn’t fray, meaning your projects don’t take as much finish work. And I’m a huge fan of creating shams for my pillows because they’re easy to stash away until next year without all the bulk".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Pillowcase with Cuff

Use some favorite fabrics for this easy project

Tutorial at Patchwork Posse Blog

"A pillowcase is a simple project for kids to learn and practice sewing with the sewing machine on.   It has lots of long straight lines to stitch.  Great for learning to keep the fabric straight, the edges lined up and the seam allowance consistent.This pillowcase is a little bit different as it has a cuff….but there is something inside as well!  It’s a hidden little cuff inside that holds the pillow in place and doesn’t let it scoot out when you are sleeping and snoozing"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Hot and Cold Pillowcase

Pillowcase with a cold side and a hot side, perfect for transitional fall weather

Tutorial at Crafty Staci Blog

"I love Oregon, but I find this time of year a little frustrating.  Don’t get me wrong, there are things I love about fall, like apples, pumpkins and boots.  Oh, the boots.  But the inconsistency in the temperature drives me a little nuts.  One minute I’m freezing, the next I’m roasting.  When you live here, you learn to dress in layers.  But nighttime is a little harder to solve.  This project was made to help a friend in the hospital who wanted something soft by his face, but I think I’ve found an easy solution to my freezer/oven problem.  This is a basic pillowcase, but the secret is using woven cotton fabric on one side and super-soft Minky, or other soft fleece, on the other.  If you’re too warm, flip it to the cotton side for instant cooling.  If you’re trying to warm up, the fleece is the side you want"....

Hexagon Pillowcase Tutorial at A Spoonful of Sugar Blog

"Remember the hexies I was making last weekend? They have now been incorporated into a Pretty Pillowcase.   Using pretty florals, ginghams, and polka dots in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and green, I made 22 Hexies. They were hand stitched onto the cuff of the pillowcase to add old world charm. This is a fun scrap buster project and makes a pretty pillowcase which would look sweet on an iron bed, topped with a pretty quilt to match. I am going to make up a stack of these hexie pillowcases to give as Christmas gifts".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make an Enclosed Pillowcase

Nicely finished pillowcase, and the pillow won't fall out

Pillowcase Tutorial at Shelley Made Blog

"The kind of pillowcases we use here have a flap on the inside to keep your pillow from falling out.  I have recently found out that these are called "Housewife Pillowcases".  As opposed to the ones with no flap, which I believe are called "Bag Pillowcases".  I much, much prefer them with a flap.  I made my pillowcases out of a yard (36" by 42") of fabric.  You might need more or less depending on how many different fabrics you want to use, and if they have a "direction"....

Pillowcase Tutorial at A Spoonful of Sugar Blog

"One of the many things we love about Christmas is having family from interstate come to stay with us. We love to create a welcoming guest room. This year we freshened up the guest bed with some pretty new pillowcases. They are so easy to run up and were a great way to use some of the pretty florals and polka dot fabrics from the Vintage Modern range we had in our stash.  The Pillowcase is white with a contrasting double thickness cuff on the front, and an internal flap to hide the pillow from view. You can mix and match your favourite prints to make a colourful range of bed linen. It is a nice way to jazz up your bedroom".... Read more
