Make It Personal

Most kids are totally in love with anything that has their name on it. Handmade pillowcases are a very simple sewing project, but adding the name personalization makes them extra special, too.

You will need these supplies to make one pillowcase:

  • Sewing machine
  • 1 yard lightweight cotton fabric
  • Fabric for name applique (amount depends on size/letters)
  • Letter template (optional)
  • Heat 'n Bond Lite
  • Thread, scissors, measuring tape, marking pen, pins
  • Iron, ironing board

Step one:

To make one pillowcase, you will use exactly one yard of 45" wide fabric. First, fold under a 7" cuff on the long end of the fabric (not the selvedge edge) and press. Stitch.
