Deep breath. I think I have finally satiated my pillowcase making cravings, at least for the time being.
This time it’s flannel snowmen trimmed out with gingham/buffalo check cuffs and a light blue detail strip. I still went with the French seams and the nice “burrito method” for attaching the cuff and detail piece. It gives me an inordinate level of satisfaction how nice the finish is using these methods.
I even remembered to add the cuff n stuff on opposite sides for using on our guest bed. Our guest sheets are red, so these fit right in! Or close enough.
Thanks so much, @zubrickk! It’s kind of a shame we’re not expecting any guests until spring. D’oh! There’s a chance it’ll still be snowy here, so I might leave 'em up.
They are very cheerful! I would not have thought to put the black check fabric with the snowmen, but it looks fantastic together! Hopefully, Bigfoot will not notice that guests are using his room!
Thanks, friends! I wish more prints were non-directional for lots of projects, but for pillowcases it would be a big boon! Not just of making the side the cuffs were on a non-issue, but also it would take quite a bit less fabric if you could just cut across from selvage to selvage.
Those are brilliant! I just made a flannel pillowcase with this tutorial and I’m glad it wasn’t two, because I totally wouldn’t have thought to flip the design on one of them.
