Fun, indeed! I made one this morning while waiting for a friend to show
up for a visit. I think the cutting and pressing took longer than the
sewing :-) Should be the first three pictures at this link:

I'm giving mine to my family on Christmas Eve (we have enough pajamas to
last us at this point!) *They were really fast and easy if you haven't
tried them before.

This method is just the best ever. I've done about 40 so far for
charity donations to a kids shelter. Last Monday our quilting group
had "pillowcase night" and we made up 20 in an hour for a local church
charity. They are a fabulous stash buster too! Donna

That fast, huh? Sounds like something I need to do -- a quick-finished
project would give me such a sense of accomplishment right now. I haven't
done much sewing in such a long time....

Oh yes, Kay. Just do it. It will give you the lift you are looking
for. One word of advice, make one that you will use. I did a Christmas
one and will probably find a use for it before the holiday comes but
right now, I just look at it and smile :-)

A girlfriend was over today. She had bought a ton of fabric to make
into pillowcases for gifts and wanted me to show her how to do it.

Instead of a skinny strip of accent fabric she had purchased large rick
rack.

Wow, was that cute!

Another fun idea to try.
