Sewing this Morning...

Dear One got some "travel pillows" when he bought new pillows for us online not so long ago.  Well, a couple of months ago.  Recently he has been agitating for pillow cases.  We went to Joann on Saturday where he found some nice "hunting pants plaid" fleece that he liked. I had previously brought home some nice bright yellow fleece but that was a non-starter. At least for him. I like yellow.  It is sunny and friendly.  I use it to make the occasional comfort blanket when someone is in the hospital.

Last night I went to purchase some needles for the sewing machine and this morning I used a newspaper to cut out a "pattern" then whacked two pillow cases together.  When Dear One arises/goes into the living room, I hope he will enjoy his new red and black fleece pillowcase.  I am happy with the yellow one.

The pillowcase is the envelope style...one full length/width piece, then two pieces that are the same width but different lengths.  You pin the longer one at one end and the shorter one at the other end of the full length piece making a three layer sandwich for part of the distance, then stitch all around the outside and you are done.  At least I am if I am using fleece and feel no need at all to do seam finishes.  Which I don't.  It if was calico it would be a totally different story about the finishing.
