Merry Christmas...

i went to joanns the other day in search of some cheap christmas fabric.
as in inexpensive...
i came home with these prints and decided to make a few christmas pillowcases for the wee ones.
i love this crazy santa.  
who doesn't love a santa in pointy toed high healed boots?
 i love making pillow cases.  
they are so quick and easy...
 i used this tute, but modified the measurements a bit.
that burrito case... it works like a dream.
and Ferk, serged it up lickity split! 
mr. h could not have a ruffle.  that just wouldn't do...  
the remaining fabric has been made into christmas pillow covers...  
my dance with a zippered pillow was a little bit of a fiasco... 
i am determined to figure it out but have to admit, envelope closures are my favorite!
i will take pics once the sun is up...

    I love the ruffles too! They really add something special to those pillows (although the pointy toed santas are pretty special on their own)

    What a fun way to decorate the kids rooms a bit, maybe my girls and I should add this to our 'craft list' for the holidays :)
