Can you make ONE (1) Pillowcase for a Child?

Since many are having a long weekend for Veterans Day - thought I'd see if anyone would like to make a pillowcase for a child for who will be spending their Christmas in the hospital.

Cyber Elves Give Back's goal is to collect 900 pillowcases for 6 Hospitals in 6 States and I have 119 received to date. We have 39 members in M* and 140* on FB - Your help is greatly appreciated to make our First Year/Drive a success!

All it takes is a 3/4 Yard of Focal Fabric and 9" of Cuff Fabric, should you have 2" of an Accent Fabric laying around, voila! You Are Set!! :D

Below is a great tutorial for the Burrito Wrap Pillowcase by Crafty Gemini - With my preferred measurements of 27" Focal Fabric, 9" Cuff Fabric, and a 2" Accent. If your machine does not like the six layers of fabric at the cuff seam, please don't struggle with the added 2" Accent Fabric. This is to be fun! Just make your pillowcase with the Focal and Cuff fabric. :D

Bumping up............. :)

Bumpin....:D

These are like potato chips.
You can't have just one. Or make just one.
Skeptical, I set out to try one, before joining Ruby's group.
Easy-Peasy!
Who knew?
I'm officially addicted to this project, and the learning the 'French Seam' technique? PRICELESS.
So easy and gratifying. Follow the Crafty Gemini tutorial and you'll look like you know what you're doing.
I set out to send 2. I'm up to 6 or 7, and purchased more fabric today.
I can't help myself....

Bump to the top...

I agree with New York Sue completely, making these pillowcases is addicting. I wanted to participate in this great cause and thought surely I would be able to figure out how to make one. So far I am up to 4 and bought more fabric last night and today. They are fun to make, especially with such adorable fabric. I sure hope they do bring smiles to the children that receive them as Ruby said.

When my family saw the finished project, they decided they want me to make them some too. My DH told me that since I can make pillowcases now, how hard could it be to start making our sheets too. Hold on a minute, that is going a bit too far!! :)

lol... actually sheets are really easy!

Addicting is the truth! I started with two and ended up with twelve! Just try it, you will love it!

Bumping in case you missed this important Community Service Call. :D

bumping up again .........the pillowcases re definitely addicting!

We're in special need of Tween/Teen Boys - Cars, Sports, Hunting - No Pin Ups. lol

Ok, Ruby. Your wish is my command!

Ruby the FB link says it is broken or has been removed when I click on it

Patrice, make sure you ask to join the group as it's a closed group - to keep the spammers out.

This may be a crazy question...but do I have to join the Facebook group to make and send the pillow cases? I'm not a Facebook person. Genny
