pillowcases

This was SUPER FUN.  I took the kids to Walmart to pick out some fabric.  The rule was they had to find cheap fabric since it was a first time sewing project.  It took us quite awhile to fine the perfect CHEAP fabric.  The younger three kids got enough fabric for a pillow case plus they were able two other patterns of fabric for two different sizes of trim.  All three cases cost us only a little over $7.  Mayah found some cute blue and pink hearts on some fabric and matched the fabric up with some super cute bright blue and bright pink trim.  Rachel found High School Musical fabric and matched it up with red and yellow fabric with splotches of other colors throughout.  Ethan found a space theme material and trimmed it with orange and yellow multi color design.  Pretty darn good deal if you ask me.  One of these days we will get more fabric to do more pillowcases.  And will be able to choose whatever fabric they want.  The kids were so excited.  We followed a you tube video since I am not a sewer.  But we learned something new and it was so fun.  The pillowcases have hidden seems.  You can follow your own you tube on it if interested.  They are fast, easy and cute.  Just search homemade seem less pillow case on you tube.  Rachel was pretty much able to sew it herself with just a small amount of help.  I sat with her and helped her guide it. But she did the pedal all by herself.  Ethan and Mayah both needed extra help in guiding.  But they ran the pedal.  I think I will make me one soon.  I saw some pretty cute fabric.  It was hard to resist.
