New holiday tradition

Back in January, as I was browsing the fabric store for material to make curtains, I came across some fun fabric. My mind started thinking as what I could make with it and decided how fun would it be for a child to have a special pillowcase for each holiday!


This weekend I was finally able to work on this long over-due project. I had major sewing machine problems along the way, but ended up with two darling pillowcases for Livy's bed. And more to come as the fabric comes available.

I hope that this simple project will be something that Livy looks forward to in the future. I want the holidays to be special for her and something that she looks forward to.

I was considering making a tutorial for this. Is there anyone interested?

    i'd never have thought of this - but what a great idea.

    I like anything that leads towards a good night's sleep.

    What a wonderful idea and a tutorial would be perfect for those of us craft challenged individuals (Spinning, Weaving easy peasy - sewing not so much:D)

    Found your blog today from a friends reference to your Christmas Matchbox project. Thanks for sharing the inspiration - Jean
