pillowcases plus for Christmas
#1
Here's an idea for kids Christmas gift - choose a themed fabric and make a pillowcase. Add a book that connects with the fabric.
i.e. fabric with moon/stars & Goodnight Moon book
If you're real ambitious, you can make pj bottoms too!

One year I used a gingerbread print for the p.j.'s and made a stuffed gingerbread man and bought the book. Pillowcases weren't the thing to make then.
I like the Dr. Suess idea. Mine are all too old now but they all have the complete set of books.

I actually did that for my grandmother 2 years ago. I made her a golf pillowcase, PJ pants and put a book in with all sorts of golf statistics. She absolutely loved it.
It doesn't have to be just for kids - could be for anyone. I am doing that again for my cousin who loves gardening and birds.

The pillowcases are a good idea!
Last year I made pillowcases for my nieces and nephew.
Actually I made quilts first. And put the quilts into the pillowcases. No need to wrap!
I machine embroidered their names on the trim, using leftover fabric from the quilts.
