As you can see, there are actually two Christmas pillowcases. I made one over a month ago and finally got around to completing the second today. I also have a third but it is no where near being done. I saw this great tutorial online for pillowcases and got inspired. While the lady claims that it only takes 15 minutes to make, it took me closer to 30 if I include the time spent cutting and looking at the directions. Super quick and super easy! These are to go in our future advent calendar. I feel on top of things especially considering the fact that Kira won't even use a pillow for over a year.
*I followed the exact dimensions for the first pillowcase I thought it turned out too long. The second one I shortened by about an inch or so and it looks great!
The other pillowcase I made was from an old shirt. I had an old beat up dress shirt and I had a falling apart pillow. When I saw this tutorial, an explosion of creativity went off in my mind. Wow. Can you tell it is getting late at night?
I wish I had used a darker colored shirt but I didn't think Aaron would appreciate me cutting up his nice work dress shirts.
Finally, here is a freebie. I made both of these bedraggled looking pillowcases a long time ago. I originally got all three of these pillows on super clearance for around $2-3 a piece. I see more pillowcases in my near future.
