We got 6 pillowcases made at school on our two "learn to sew" days.

| Day 1 with Miss Lauren |
They were the perfect project for straight line stitching.

| Day 2 with Miss Anna |

| My contribution on Saturday. |
We have a friend in Madrid, Spain whose mother was hit by a car recently. She is in the hospital in serious condition. This pillowcase will not go to Houston, but will go to Spain personalized just for her. Hope it brightens the hospital room a bit.

Fabric In - But With a Reason!
I've been looking for a heavier/decorator weight fabric to make children's aprons for my classroom this year. I changed classes this school year and the aprons I had made years ago stayed with the previous class. We have some Dollar Store aprons in the new classroom, but they are not nearly as good as homemade. Aprons will be another good "learn to sew" project in the future. $3 for 4.5 yards at my favorite thrift store.

I'm glad the pillowcases are getting me out of the red, but I'd rather there wasn't a need for them.

That fabric will make cute aprons.

ReplyDeleteYay for staying in the used category! The pillowcases are great. Are these art aprons you are making? That's a great looking fabric and color for some.
ReplyDeletePretty pillow cases. Hope your friend's mother is doing much better. That green will make some pretty aprons.
