Christmas in July Pillowcases

Pin It
 Christmas in July with
The Quilt Ladies

Patchwork Pillowcase

I purchased pillowcases and dressed them up. You can do it either way, make or purchase.

Using a purchased set of Standard pillowcases.

Measure your pillowcase and cut squares to fit.
Mine is 40" around on each case.

Cut 40 - 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square

Sew into 2 rows of 20 each - Sew the ends of each row together to form a circle


From the open edge back open the sewn seam up.





And stitch is back with the seam allowance on the good side.



Measure from the case edge 3 1/4"  pin, pieced row down. Good fabric to good fabric



Use 1/4" inch seam allowance







Turn pieced work up and press.


Fold down the edge of the pillow case,



And Top Stitch.





Happy Christmas in July
