Thank you! A quick and easy way to freshen up the look of a bedroom is to
change the pillowcases. Simple, right? So put away those ho-hum
basic pillowcases that came with your sheet set and create a special
pair of your own!
Our pattern Features 3 design details – piping, border trim, and
contrast hem – making these cases far from ordinary! With so many
gorgeous quilting weight cottons, you may want to make several sets!
Happy sewing!
