Finish the seams by using a zig zag stitch or serger. With right sides together and a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew the main pieces together along the 3 sides, as shown by the blue lines. With right sides together and a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew the cuff pieces together along the 2 short edges, as shown by the blue lines. You will want the picture to run side to side of the finished pillow case. 2 main pieces: 27 inches tall by 21 inches wideįor the main piece, be sure to pay attention to which way the picture is running. 2 cuff pieces: 13 inches tall by 21 inches wide The best part about this is that you can cut that fabric in half and use the main picture as the front of the pillowcase and then the upper part of the fabric for the back of the pillowcase! Then, the allover print can be used for the contrasting pillow case cuff. The border print fabrics from my fabric line run from selvedge to selvedge, as shown in this photo. These pillowcases are so easy to whip up that you will want to make a bunch for friends, family and even charity!
#Color me fun fabric line how to#
Today, I am sharing how to make a super duper easy pillowcase, as shown in my Color Me Fabric post from Friday. And while you're at it, why not follow me on Bloglovin'? I would LURVE for you to sign up for my newsletter to get exclusive discounts and updates. One last thing: if Noah goes crazy coloring on all his clothes, it’s not my fault.Hi there! It looks like this if your first time visiting. I’ll be making these for the little people in my life, for sure! Thank you for letting me be part of your tour, Hayley, and thank you for the fabric, Michael Miller! If you are interested in this fabric, check out the store locator, and be sure to check out the rest of the blog tour! The first blogger, An of Straight Grain, made an adorable fabric coloring book. I couldn’t resist… I had to try a little coloring myself! 😀 I think it will make for a really comfortable shirt!
Oh, and before I forget, the fabric is printed on Michael Miller’s Cotton Couture fabric, so it’s a bit thicker and softer than the quilting cottons in my stash. I mean, the shirt is covered in aliens and planets! It doesn’t need anything else! 😉 I made some modifications to the pattern to simplify it a bit- since the print is so over the top, the bias-bound hem and faced sleeves would be a bit much. I used pattern #19 in a size 96 (he’s between sizes, so sizing up seemed prudent). There are so many cute patterns packed into the magazine! I’m looking forward to trying out several of them. So I did what I always do when I’m stumped- I asked the friendly folks on Twitter for pattern recommendations! Becky Jo suggested I try Ottobre, and was kind enough to send me the 3/2012 issue. He’s too big for M6016, a tot-sized pattern that I used to make a teensy Magnum P.I. I knew right away that I wanted to make a little buttondown for Noah. What kid doesn’t want a shirt covered in flying saucers?! He’s two years old and is absurdly adorable, and now that he looks more like a little boy than a baby, it’s prime time to start making him cool clothes! So I chose “To the Moon and Back” for him because ALIENS. I decided that this fun fabric was a good excuse to sew something cute for my nephew.
Fun! I would have been so excited to customize my own fabric when I was a kid… I used to agonize for ages before picking out my Lisa Frank designs, so how great would it be if you could avoid the choice and have both killer whales AND golden retrievers?! Mind. Hayley worked with her kids, Ethan and Ainsley, to design the fabric, so everything that’s included on the fabric was requested by those two. There are two variations, “A Royal Life” and “Space Adventures”, and each variation has a border print in addition to an all-over. The collection is “Color Me” by Hayley Crouse for Michael Miller Fabrics. So when she asked me to be part of the blog tour for her new fabric collection, I was stoked! And get this: it’s fabric that you can COLOR on! How fun is that?! She’s super fun, sweet, and is involved with so many cool crafting adventures that it’s kinda crazy (she’s the designer behind Mouse House Creations and a co-founder of the Willow & Co pattern collective). I met Hayley of Mouse House Creations last year and immediately wanted to be best friends with her. Hi, guys! Hope you’re all well! I’ve got something a little different to show you today- kid sewing!
