Although my son didn’t know it, he needed new pillow cases and I wanted a quick sewing project !
masculine prints were needed- second from the left reminds me of sprocket wheels .
Happily, both could be satisfied with a trip to the fabric store and a good pillow case tutorial from Ashley over at Film in the Fridge.
I have used this tutorial before and I like it for it’s clear instructions and great results. The pillow cases have a nice cuff, a pop of detail in that trim and french seams so they don’t fray.
I didn’t pre-wash my fabrics so they look at bit roomy on the pillows here. I am expecting the cases to shrink up a bit.
That’s my finish for the week !
Thanks for having a look. Have a delightful weekend !
linking up with Amanda for Finish it up Friday.

Lovely work! I am pinning that pattern (the trim detail will make a nice change from the basic pillowcase pattern that I usually use).

Thanks Heide, those fabrics are quite different from my usual purchases. But it was fun to figure out masculine combinations for a 20 something guy !

I’ve used several patterns from Ashley. They’ve all been easy to follow and understand. Your son’s pillowcases are all really nice–masculine but coordinating. Gotta love that pop of trim.
