Instructions

see Vanessa Wilson's u-tube video it is great. She is a craftys's instructor. Click on her name and go to her projects , The pillow sight is in her projects.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Women

Style: Traditional


Materials

100% cotton and I believe cotton ploy blend; this material was given to me so I am unsure what the material is.

What was your inspiration?

Mom is coming for Christmas, so I bought a new pillow for her. The pillow is queen size and I needed a pillow case to fit the pillow. Seeing how my material has a Christmas theme; I though it would be a good reminder of her visit. And of course I love purple!!!

What are you most proud of?

That I used material that was given to me as a gift a year ago. Nice to see out of my stash!! And that is being used in my home.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch Vanessa Wilson's u-tube video, it is great!! She is one of Craftsy's teachers.

This is a good idea also. I do have lots of cording that I have never used. (I wanted it for cushions I plan on making and never get to.

It would be a great Christmas present to let mom take home with her. To remember your visit with her. I have watched this instruction video, and have made some like this, it is easy and fun. Yours is beautiful.

Thank you! I will give Mom the pillow case for Christmas. It should fit her King size pillows as I made it a little extra long. She won't want the pillow as her apartment is not that big. But great idea!!

Mom will love it, if only because you made it for her. It is lovely.
