    These were made for my DGS's to collect halloween candy in. When the holiday is over they will each have a pillowcase to use until winter arrives. I plan to make Christmas print pillowcases and use them to "wrap" their presents in. This saves the waste of paper....simply insert gift and tie with new shoe laces to match and everything is re-used...

    The DGS's will love them!! I do the same thing but instead of shoelaces I use a leftover strip of the fabric and tie it with that.

    Your pillowcase are very nice and I love the bright fabrics. I love making them for family. Using them for christmas bags is a great idea.
