Pillowcases, about which I am, again, quite smug




These are, without a doubt, the cutest pillowcases I've ever made. They may even be the cutest pillowcases I've ever seen. CPB likes to use two pillows, and since every king sheet set only includes two cases, and one's for the lovely wife, I often need...another. These are made with Patty Sloniger's Backyard Babies line, which includes those wonderful helicopters which come from oak trees, (maple?) and BUGS IN JARS!! What could be better? Yes, I'm very smug right now.

I used Nancy Zieman's tutorial, in combination with a pattern by Peggy Anne. I extended the body fabric from 27" to 36" to make these king pillowcases.
