The Sewing Mom

My sister Grace sent me the link to The Pillowcase Project and I believe it’s worth mentioning here on my blog.  I am in no way being compensated for this post, it is strictly my hope that anyone who has some extra fabric, or knows someone who does, will find this link and be inclined to help out by sewing a pillowcase, or two, or three!  And, check out these super cute pillowcase dresses!  Read on for the link to the FREE pattern. 

Baby Lock is supporting the Pillowcase Project and they are asking us to help them help those in need.

The pattern for this adorable project is free and completed pillowcase dresses can be sent to:

Cross Timbers Community Church
Attn: Andrea Schmid/The Pillowcase Project
2525 Florence Rd
Roanoke, TX 76262

The dresses will then be distributed to those who are in need. By the way, they also accept regular pillowcases for distribution!

Even though I’ve been gone, I did actually get some sewing done!  I don’t have a picture of my completed project, I’ll have to have my sister take one. 

My sister created a pattern for making fun pillowcases so I just had to try it out while I was there.  It’s very simple, although, I was having trouble measuring the fabric the day I did it, so it took me longer than it should have!  I think I should have drank more coffee before I started.

I also used her new embroidery sewing machine on the edge of the pillowcase and a pretty decorative stitch that her machine has.  It was a lot of fun.  Because the fabric I used came from her stash, I left the completed pillow case with her and forgot to take a picture.  I’ll get her to take one for me.

Hope everyone had a great week!

My sister has created her own pillowcase pattern and they are really coming out so cute! She made these for her two granddaughters and embroidered their names on them with her new embroidery machine. I just love the fabrics she used.
