tutorial tuesday. pillowcase tutorial.

There is a special little someone in my life with a birthday quickly approaching.  And this little man loves fire engines.  One of the fabrics used has several fire engines, plus other motor vehicles that he will recognize.
I used Kerri's fabulous magic pillow case tutorial, and let me just say, this was so much fun!!  I don't want to stop making them!  Thank you Kerri for showing us how!
The pattern calls for 3/4 yard of the main fabric and 1/4 yard for the band, in addition to 2" of fabric for the smaller band.  I was able to take one yard of two different fabrics that I thought he would like and make two matching standard size pillow cases. 
Now they are ready to be wrapped and shipped, wishing this little one a happy birthday and sweet dreams. xo
