Our 3-year old got a spill on his pillowcase from his bedtime snack.It caused a major crisis and he refused to go to sleep without a case on his pillow (and we, of course, had no backup).
Mama said she could sew one in 6 minutes, so off I went with the dirty case to find some soft fabric in my stash.
I found a flannel remnant with giraffes on it (score- they are his current favorite), and set to work.
I cut around the current pillowcase, leaving room for a seam allowance. I then cut a second piece, leaving room to cross them over in the middle.
Then I cut the back piece in half and hemmed it. I put it and the front front sides together and stitched all of the way around, overlapping the back pieces (I should have overlapped a bit more). I then stitched again all the way around with a faux serge (wide zig zag).
Viola! In 9 minutes (including photos)...But, what?? You fell asleep without it???
