Pillowcases are fast and fun



It's fun to be able to start and finish a project in one day!! Really, it was a couple of hours and I had two great pillowcases.  I will keep track of the time with the next one because I'm curious to know how long it actually takes.

Today I made two dino pillowcases.  The one at the top that is folded in half goes super fast because it is just one piece of fabric.  The second case was made using the burrito (or rolled) method.

These are links to websites that show how to make the second pillowcase - same process with different presentations.
