More Handmade Christmas

 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!
