Learn to Sew Series Lesson #1: How to Sew a Straight Line Lesson One Tutorial
Instead of making the Burp Cloths like the project recommended I applied the same idea to a pillow case for my son. Per the Learn to Sew Pledge: My lines won’t be perfectly straight the first day. Or the second. Maybe not even for a few months. Or years. That’s ok. Nobody cares. I’m doing my best.
Whew! I won't show it here, but there was some deviation from "straight" in this project. I've never sown with fleece before and the material is a bit stretchy. Live and learn!
The monkey flannel and the the blue fleece were remnant box finds. Score! Unfortunately the blue was longer instead of wider so there is a seam in the middle of the blue side but the material is so soft that you can't tell.
On each side I added a pocket for Curious George to sleep in. My son is nuts about George and monkeys are his favorite animals.

The pillow is soooooooooooo soft. Think I'll make some for my husband and I.
I love this pillowcase! It looks so comfy! I love the fact that you used remnants...I am a sucker for the remnant bin...I don't think I have ever left JoAnn's without at least 1 remnant...hence the large stash of fabric in my workroom!!

Ahh what a cool idea! I bet it's nice an soft I'd want one too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! What a fun idea making a little pocket for a cute little someone! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the pocket too! Coincidentally I just posted a 100% recycled pair of little pillows, with pockets, made out of a couple of cute little toddler shirts. I need to find a cute little toy to put in one of the pockets.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for checking out my "Ugly Orange Ottoman" makeover on Jan Made It. That's how I found you!
