Pocket Pillowcases...


I saw this idea several months back on Pinterest and immediately knew I'd want to make a bunch! Last week I designed a pattern and made some for our grandchildren for Christmas. I love the idea of a pocket on a pillowcase. There are so many things you could tuck inside that little pocket. I chose to buy some small books and some stuffed animals (Target, $4.99). Here's what I came up with...


I used flannel fabric because I love a soft warm pillowcase in the winter. I thought the grandkiddos would appreciate that too, however, any soft cotton would work well.


I couldn't ignore the grandboys. Here's one for a dog-lover...


For older children (6-10 years), you could also tuck in a little journal. I love the idea of getting them in the habit of writing in a journal or diary before bed each night.


Later this week I plan on publishing a tutorial with measurements and brief instructions on how to make a Pocket Pillowcase. It's such a quick, easy project! Stay tuned...
