Sunday is Pillowcase Day!!

This a great project for your extra collection of fabric.
 The most difficult part of this simple project for me is trying to keep the cats off the cutting board!

• Cut Three pieces of fabric (all 42" length...life the universe and everything?)

1. Main Piece 27" X 42"
2. Border Piece 9" X 42"
3. Accent Piece 3" X 42" (you can also use lace or in this example I used some of the bunches of blanket binding I have from making baby blankets)

•  Lay out the 9" Boarder piece face up

• Lay Main fabric pice face up on top of the boarder piece (align the raw edges along the 42" length)

• Iron the 3" accent piece in half with wrong sides together, lenghwise and lace face up on top of the mail piece, raw edeges even

Take the Main Fabric piece from the bottom and roll the fabric
up towards the top leaving about 3" from the raw edge.

Take the boarder piece from the bottom and fold
toward the top and pin all edges together (5 layers)

 Stitch a 1/2" seam along the edge, making a tube of fabric 

Turn the fabric right side out

Stitch the side and bottom seams
(you can serge the edges, make a french seam
or pink as well)
