Daisy really enjoys sewing. Our second project in our little sewing group was pillow cases. But not just your standard pillow cases. These are the kind with a zipper, for throw pillows. Personally, I like the idea of zipper cases because then you can take the pillow out to wash the case. Most pillows become misshapen in the wash, so it is much better to wash the case separately.
Daisy is all about soft. She loves fuzzy, silky, fluffy, comfy, snuggly stuff. So it is not surprising that when we went to get fabric, she chose minky fabric. I've used it before, so I'm not a stranger to it, but for certain is a little harder to sew and sometimes a little slippery.
We cut out our pieces beforehand and showed up on Saturday morning. This ended up being a pretty quick project. It wasn't long before we had our zipper in. Daisy is testing out the fabric to see how soft it will be against her cheeks.
Now to sew up the edges. Daisy did a great job.
Get those corner turned out so the pillow form fits nicely.
I think it looks awesome.
We had less girls there that day. But the ones who finished did a great job.
Daisy's pillow instantly became a staple in her room. She has also made a couple since then for her sisters. Guess she can sleep easy knowing this is a great skill to be developing.
