Visions of Sugar Plums - Make a Christmas Pillowcase.


“The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.”  Make a Christmas Pillowcase to make the wait for Santa a little more jolly.   There are so many adorable cotton Christmas prints it is hard to decide what to use.  I made pillowcases for the six cousins all in different prints, but each of them have the same Santa print hem.

Use a pillowcase you have on hand as a guide to determine the size. 
I used a generous 5” hem. (doubled over – so you need 11” for both sides and a seam allowance.)
Ribbon, rickrack, lace or other trims will make your pillowcase even more festive. 
Embroidery would be a fun way to personalize it even more.


A fun and easy project for the special child in your life! 
Merry Christmas!
