Gift giving season approaches! Monday night I cut out nine pillowcases while Joannie worked on Dan's Christmas quilt, which you can see
here. Last night I started sewing my pillowcases together assembly-line style. I'm deliberately only showing you the tube stage, since they are holiday gifts. You might be getting one!
I make my pillowcases using the sausage pillowcase method. You can find a free pattern
here or watch a video
here for more information. This is a quick and easy technique, plus all the seams are finished when you are done.

Too many to hold! |

Nine little pillowcase sausages all in a row. |

Here is pillowcase #10, which I made last week. I sent it to my
nephew Sam for his birthday. It has sushi fabric for the main panel
and the end panel is a Dr Seuss print -- it says, "Sam I Am".
Sam thought it was fabulous! I love that boy! |

In other exciting quilting news, my friend Pat finished her
golf-themed baby quilt for her new nephew Colton. |
Happy Friday! I am linking up with

I want to make some custom pillowcases also. Nicely done!

Thanks Jeanne! They are fun and easy to make. Everyone loves them. I can't stop buying novelty prints!
DeleteI was so very happy to run into your post today! I really like how perfect your pillow cases look and I sincerely need to make some for my daughter as part of her Christmas Present (she got a big girl bed this year so she gets a big girl quilt too!). I am curious how quickly these take you as you already have 10?!! Very good job, whoop, whoop (and thank you so much for the directional video link).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteI love this method for making pillowcases - and as a matter of fact, I've got my own assembly line of them prepped and ready to go for this weekend :) the sushi version you made looks so fun :)
ReplyDeletePillow case sausages is a cute way to describe them;) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have so many novelty prints in my stash that I want to use up, but many have prints too big for a quilt. I just bookmarked a sausage/burrito method pillowcase tutorial yesterday and was planning to make some this weekend. Looks like great minds think alike :-). Can't wait to see what's inside your "rolls!"
ReplyDeletePillowcases are so much fun. Thanks for reminding me
