Pillow Case: VERY Easy to Sew Gift Idea.

RE: Pillow Case: VERY Easy to Sew Gift Idea. By Connie C. (Guest Post) You don't need a serger to make pillowcases, but a serger does do a great job at finishing the raw edges and preventing lots of loose threads from ruining your washing machine. If you don't have a serger and aren't going to get one, using a zig-zag stitch on the raw edges will control those potentially loose threads, too.

By sbaum (18) Contact mom is getting satin pillowcases for christmas. she buys colored ones so she will see them when she leaves a hotel but still forgets them. i'm going to make her a set along with some sort of reminder she can put in her train case so she will remember to get them. her birthday is in march. hopefully she won't need replacements too soon .

By Laura (Guest Post) You don't have to use a serger my PFD teacher is making us beginners use scissors to trim the sides, because if you are not careful you can cut an unwanted slit in your fabric!

One site claims they are the easiest project, BUT you need a serger machine, okay that pillowcase should cost me about $400.00-$700.00. Other sites have at least 15 steps, other only give you queen size. Thank this site for it's easy to understand 4 step method, it saved tons of money on the purchased of that serger, DUR Posted on 11/06/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pillow Case: VERY Easy to Sew Gift Idea. By Anonymous (128) Contact These are all excellent ideas, thank you. I plan on giving a set of 4 pillow cases to my inlaws. Pillowcases often wear out quickly and sheet sets usually only provide 2. I sleep with 2 pillows myself. http://www.teapotcottage.com Posted on 11/18/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pillow Case: VERY Easy to Sew Gift Idea. By kidsNclutter (220) Contact If you want to make several pillow cases of the same print or character, consider purchasing a twin bed sheet set on sale. It might be cheaper than buying the fabric by the yard. Posted on 11/18/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pillow Case: VERY Easy to Sew Gift Idea. By kidsNclutter (220) Contact My mother has made quite a few special "character" pillow cases for my kids. Blues Clues, SpongeBob, Scooby, Etc. My oldest child suggested making holiday themed pillow cases. You could also use flannel (prewash), satin, any fabric that suits you. Sometimes these pillow cases cost almost as much for the character fabric as to purchase a ready made pillow case, but those lack the love. My kids are happy to use a pillow case sewn especially for them by Grammy. Posted on 11/18/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pillow Case: VERY Easy to Sew Gift Idea. By Lucille Gifford (Guest Post) Before discarding an old sheet, you may find there is enough material in good condition along the bottom edge or sides to make a pillow case or two.
