Pillow cases

Just for fun I decided to make the kids some pillow cases. I figured "how hard could it be." Actually not hard at all. Any ways a week ago or so I took Matthew, Kaycee and Cole to the fabric store with me to get fabric for another project I am doing. I will post pictures of all that later. Any way while we were there Matthew asked he could pick out some material for him for me to make a pillow case for him. I said sure and then let the other kids pick out what they wanted as well. They all picked out the material for James. He was here at home with Ben.

This pillow case is Matthews. At first he wanted the pillow case to be soccer. Then he saw the money material. Is this a look into the future? I hope so. :)

The kids obviously picked out a baseball theme for James' pillow case. Go figure. :)

Cole was choosing between two different patterns. Both were about dogs. He ended up picking this one. I like this material better then the other. The other was cute but it was only little paw prints.

Kaycee picked this very cute pattern. Its all sparkly and everything.

While there picking out the material I didn't think of the coast. A yard of this cotton fabric really isn't that expensive. But when you start adding it up it is kinda pricey. Not to bad though. But the best of all was the smile and giddiness of the kids after the pillow cases were made. It was worth every penny. :)

That's a cool idea. I will have to work up my nerve and try it out. They turned out really cute.
