Fun pillowcases!

This weeks little project (not forgetting the mound of repairs Im chugging through…) is sweet pillowcases for the kids. Fun for the kids to pick out which fabric they wanted, and a great easy way to make something that they will cherish.

While browsing youtube one night, I came across a great video on how to make pillowcases using quilt fabric. It stuck with me, and I knew inevitably that I would make some.

This is the video.

Tube pillowcase tutorial 

Both pillowcases were done in fabric I had been given, so only cost me the thread and my time. But of course, the beautiful green fabric on the pillowcase above had a nice funky smell to go with the vintage, so that earnt itself a good wash!

And heres a close up of each of the fabric combos (I got a new camera, can you tell??!)

All in all, a fun project 🙂

Been making some cards…

This blog post is well overdue, and apologies for that!

Life got in the way of crafting and posting for a while there, and so the only thing I had done was some fun cardmaking at my MILs. Ive starting creating more recently and hopefully there will be some blog posts to follow 🙂

For now, here are some of the cards I had fun making…

Apologies for the poor camera quality. All the cards (except the ‘Liam’ one) are white.. if only the camera knew that!

This sweet little card went to a friend who had a beautiful baby girl, and unexpectedly early, so glad I had it done!

And this sweet card was for another of my beautiful friends who had a lovely little girl. Very exciting!!

So who’s going to get pregnant to receive this one??

First card I made, using the Cricut Expression 2 and 2 different size sticker makers. The kids helped out with this one 🙂

A simple card. Really like the effect of badge cards. Thought it would make a nice unisex card, for those expecting a surprise.

Baby boy card..

And the inside, up the top. This one went to my another sweet friends baby, Alex, who I am yet to meet. Cant wait!

Special card made just for Liam, my friends little baby boy.

For my favourite nephew, 1 year old!

And a little gift card, made using the same as the above card.

Just loved these little garden stickers.

Also made a thankyou card using them, but I had to thank someone quickly, so no photo!

And a night garden card. Oh I did love those stickers, so cute!

So thats not all of them, but thats all the photos I took.

Had such a great time making them. Wish the same to all you crafters (the same being you find a nice person who will let you use all their cardmaking things, hehe 🙂 )
