Tutorial: Easy to make bed pillow case in 3 sizes and 3 styles

Ashley from Make It and Love It shows how you can make a standard bed pillowcase.  But from a fun fabric, these bed pillow cases are nothing but standard!  She uses a French seam finish so there are no raw edges on the inside of the pillowcase.  And for the pillowcases with cuffs (contrast or same-color), a burrito method that sews the cuff and encases the raw edges in one seam.  She gives dimensions to make them in three sizes – standard, queen, and king.  Even with these nice seam finishes, they’re still quick to make.  She  shares the tutorial in hopes that you will make some to donate to Bubba’s Pillow Case Drive. (More info is given in her post).

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
