Make a Pillowcase - Brighten the World

There is a campaign in the sewing/quilting world to make and donate one million pillowcases to charity.  It is an easy way to help brighten someone's day and inexpensive as well.  I have made quilts to help out children in foster care and plan to participate in this campaign as well.  Even if you don't sew often this is an easy project to complete.

The site includes patterns, a list of charities and other helpful links.  


In addition to the patterns there are tutorials online.  I watched one from the Missouri Star Quilting Company.

Pillowcases make great gifts to friends and family as well.  I just made a couple for my nephews (ages 7 and 9) and of course reinforced the seams to allows for plenty of pillow fights.
