Sweet Slumber Pillowcase Sewing Pattern – Travel Size 12" x 16"
The Sweet Slumber Pillowcase Pattern is the perfect beginner sewing project for home or classroom use. It’s simple, fast, and kid-friendly—ideal for teaching the next generation of quilters. The cuff uses just two fat quarters, and the body takes 5/8 yard of fabric (or 7/8 yard if your fabric is directional). Add 1 yard of ric rac for a decorator finish. This project makes a 12" x 16" travel pillow, great for naps, car rides, or sleepovers. Most sewists complete it in under 2 hours, so it’s easy to fit into a sewing class, kit bundle, or weekend craft.
