Christmas Pillowcases... so fun to make

Set of Pillowcases for a  very special friend!
Always looking for places to embroider ..What  fun!


I decided to make these pillowcases in a fun Christmas
print fabric.. Then added a white border [so the embroidery
work would show up]. I made the bias tape from
a red/white stripe fabric for a contrast to the fabric.
They were so fun to make , and now they are in
the mail to my friend. I also,made one of the sweet
little Christmas trees to adorn the package..[thank
you Laura for teaching me this!! so easy and cute to make!]

 I have almost finished all my Christmas gift making.. So,
it's time to  clean the sewing room, make the candies,
clean the house and get ready for Christmas.

    These are darling!!!! I think I may have to borrow this idea. Thank you for sharing your creativity! I don't have an embroidery machine but I could do it by hand I think...
    Have a very merry Christmas dear sewing friend.

    Oh, what a fabulous idea, Judy! I'm still soooooo jealous over your embroidery machine...LOL! I've been diligently watching craigslist for a good used machine...hopefully someday! (deep sigh!)

    Love the "theme" pillowcase idea. I recently read a blog where a lady made "holiday" cases for her guest room...whatever the upcoming holiday...she adorned her pillows with appropriate cases. Such a cute idea!

    Sweet blessings,
    Laura

      Thank you Laura. Love the ladies idea of doing themes for all the holidays..That would be so fun.
      Hope you find a good used embroider machine, maybe you will find a singer futura and I can help you , if you need any help. When I first got mind, I was totally lost. Didnt know where to start [but you have to remember, I am computer dumb..so that was my trouble.lol].. Once you find one, I will definitely share my designs with you. I have thousands. [yes I am an embroidery design hoarder, as I am a fabric hoarder,ha]
