Tutorial: Sew a pillowcase for Ronald McDonald House

Emily from Life Sew Savory shows a way you can use your sewing skills to give back to others. She makes simple pillowcases that she donates to her local Ronald McDonald House. I love this idea! The handmade pillowcases add a personal touch and can make the temporary lodging feel a little bit more like home. There are Ronald McDonald Houses in cities all over the world. Or, make them to give to another charity of your choice.
