    Chelsea! A few thoughts: 1. You make me feel like I could sew anything! 🦸 2. Why, oh, why does this channel not have A MILLION subscribers?! 🤩 3. I so wish that we were neighbors because I'm pretty sure that we would be fast friends! ☺ Have a wonderful weekend. And greetings from St. Louis, MO. ~Kelly 🪡

    A few years ago, I made my sister and my sister-in-law, my son and his wife and my grandkids all pillowcases for for each month of the year. I called it the pillow case of the month club. The month of their birthday they got a special one that was all birthday material and I put their name on it. This year I incorporated those pieces of materials that was left over into quilts for each one of them for Christmas this year.

    I’m 66, well 67 in two weeks, and while I sewed in junior/high school some college it stopped there. 5 years ago I bought a Viking sewing machine and serger, they’ve sat in the box until recently. terrified me!
    I can’t thank you enough for your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I feel like I actually can do many of these projects. I plan to give gifts I make this years. You have so many beginner projects that will be great gifts for a wide range of friends/family. Thank you so much!

    Chelsea, You do a fabulous job explaining how to make the fun pillowcase project! All the Newbie Sewist's will have no trouble following your directions. Tell all the Newbie's that even us oldies have to use seam rippers to take out Boo-Boo's. I really enjoy your warm personality that's full of encouragement and enthusiasm with every project you teach. Oh, BTW, You got a major score on your discounted fabric!!! It's the good stuff you can't see through like many other fabrics that are now sold at hobby stores & even quilt shops at $13 & $14 per yard. Keep up the awesome job you are doing teaching anyone who is interested how to sew great & gift-able projects!😁🤪🤪

    You’re absolutely right!! It’s how I still feel going into independent sewing and quilt stores. The people who work there can seem condescending to beginner questions. But I still go because I love it all. Thanks for doing this and understanding.😊

    My Mom taught me to sew when I was young and when my kids were younger I sewed quite a bit (nothing fancy) but gradually got away from it. After watching your videos I made a bunch of zipper pouches and key chains from fabric left by my Mom after she passed away for my family. Thank you for getting me excited about sewing again!

    Chelsea, your comment about “imposter syndrome” hit close to home! I am 51 and didn’t use a sewing machine until last year. I’ve been trying to figure it all out myself and I’m having so much fun. Your encouragement and joyful, supportive attitude are so wonderful. Going into a fabric store is so hard, though. I feel like such an idiot, not knowing anything. I wish I knew more about the types of fabrics and what works for what. It’s all like a different language! 😅 For my first project I was given a bunch of “scraps” from friends and I practiced just sewing them together into colour categories. I’m at the stage now where I’ve put all those blocks together and am trying to hand quilt it. That’s an adventure!😂
    But just know that you are so appreciated, way up here in north central BC!

    Always so satisfying to make these kinds of pillowcases! My daughters learned to make them in middle school home ec and made them several times as gifts for friends -- perfect to bring as a gift for the birthday girl at a sleepover! As Chelsea said, they're perfect for tucking into a spa kit, but they could also be used as a gift bag for a larger gift -- like maybe a winter- or Christmas-themed print to hold a large stuffed animal or a good sized box or something? Just use a ribbon to tie a bow around the top! There are so many cute seasonal and holiday prints that before you know it you'll want to make one for each month of the year.

    I would mention that some shops require that you buy 1 yard on clearance fabric which I learned the hard way after I took at least 10 different fabrics up and found out after I had asked someone if I could get a half a yard of each. I was bummed because the fabric was awesome but so were the prices at the end I could only get a couple of yards. Now I just ask for anyone I can find if I can have their scraps. I’m so happy I came across your videos I think your fabulous good luck to getting bigger in the You Tube world!!!😘

      For king size pillows you do a full yard of fabric.
      I do 36" main body, 2.5" contrast...I usually use a jelly roll strip, and 10" for cuff.

    This is such agreat tutorial. The best one yet that ive seen of this project! I have one small suggestion 😊. When sewing up the sides and end I start at the open end to ensure the edges match and the tiny border flange is lying flat.😊 Yours turned out fantastic 🎉
    Thanks again for a super tutorial 🎉

    I have lost count of how many burrito style pillowcases I have made. I make them for my grandchildren every Christmas and of course they are Christmas pillowcases. The method I use is slightly different, but the results are exactly the same. My measurements are also a little bit different. I use 9 inches for the cuff, 27 inches for the body, and 3 inches for the trim. These are so fun and easy to make and the French seam make them seem fancy. I enjoyed your video and plan to look for others. I was actually making this year’s pillowcases as I was watching your video.

    Don't throw out the selvedge edge that you've cut off. You can roll up your pillowcases and use the cutoff selvedge as a ribbon to tie around the pillowcases.

    Such a fun project! I've made all my grandkids lots of pillowcases over the years and they always love them. I also used the burrito method which ends up with no raw edges which is another great feature. You always share the best projects!

    After trimming the selvage I like to sew that small trim down 1/8" from the edge. I keeps it from getting wrinkly and flipping up once you wash it. Just looks neater and more finished.
