Making pillowcases can be very fun and rewarding; however, it is important that you follow the directions properly - especially if you are planning on donating your pillowcases to a hospital. I have set out below some easy how-to steps for creating a beautiful, child friendly pilowcase which will brighten the walls of any drab looking hospital room.
Step One: Go with your partner or friends to somewhere that sells fabric. This can be a nice outing to go on as it is fun to pick out all of the different combinations of fabric that you want to use.
Step Two: Make tea/coffee to help motivate your husband to continue cutting up all of the fabric into pillowcase bodies and ends.
Step Three: Match up bodies with ends and give husband a back rub as he slaves over the sewing machine, stitching them together.
Step Four: Take photos of your newest creations and share them with others by posting them on your blog.
Step Five: After your husband has washed, ironed and packaged the pillowcases, place a couple of stamps on your gift box and pop it in the post.
We make bright and fun pillowcases for children undergoing long term hospital care. We hope that this small contribution will brighten up a child's environment and put an all important smile on their face. We rely heavily on our kind and generous sponsors, and are truly grateful for any donations of handmade pillowcases, fabric or money to help us continue our effort.
