PILLOWCASES FOR OUR TROOPS PROJECT IS NOW CLOSED!
Thank you, Angels, who signed up! Our Deployed will love your pillowcases!
Be sure to sign up for our Angel News. Updates and needs for our project occur only through our Angel News.
Each month I ship out homemade fresh new pillowcases to our Troops created by our crafty Angel sewers.
Please note that we only ship NEW pillowcases. Do not send used pillowcases. Thank you.
"Roll It Up" is one pattern that's easy to follow and produces a beautiful finished pillowcase that's sure to withstand deployments. For all our sewing Angels, I hope you'll give this a try!
HERE ARE OUR PARTICULARS AND RESOURCES FOR OUR PROJECT!
1) This is part 1 of 2: YouTube video for easy to follow visual instructions.
2) This is part 2 of 2: YouTube video shows how to finish your pillowcase with French seams.
3) Download a copy of the Roll It Up Pillowcase pattern!
4) Yardage needed for multiple pillowcases: I've found these measurements to work well with very little waste. I've found that 100% cotton works well and consider flannel for those chilly winter nights. Jo-Ann Fabrics and Hobby Lobby have a nice line of fabrics and coupons!
* 5 pillowcases ~ Main fabric 44-45" wide ~ 4 yds.;
Border fabric 44-45" wide ~ 1 1/2 yds.
