As I mentioned in my last post, my sisters and I are trying to keep Christmas inexpensive this year, so I've been making some handmade gifts. For all the kids (my three and my niece and nephew), I decided to make pillowcases. I was inspired by the cute ones in this Etsy shop.
I decided to go a little more fun and colorful, and also personalize them, because what kid doesn't love something with his name on it??
I did run into some problems- I used interfacing on the clouds, but it didn't adhere the greatest, which is why there are a few bumps and buckles.
And on Noah's, I messed up writing the name(!!), but a little extra cloud provided a perfect fix!
But, what the heck? They're for kids, and once they're on a pillow, they work great!
I just love the look of them all folded up together- such pretty colors- yum!
Also, I failed to mention that the sweet Chelsey at The Paper Mama posted my tutorial for vintage inspired felt stockings last week. Go check it out!
