Anybody have some cool wovens lying around that are just begging to be sewn into a king-sized pillowcase for a little boy who spends far too much time in the hospital? :)
Hank's on his way back into the hospital. They always bring their own pillows and cases. A while back the sewing moms sewed pillowcases for another sick little one. I'm asking that we do it again.
I'll get the address (or if someone here has it, please pm it to me.)
Sew a pillowcase and ship it off - quick and easy - and it will bring a smile to Hank and his mom.

When you find the dimensions please post & if there isn't a "sew along/tutorial" as well I'll do one.
I need a quick project that has nothing to do with piracy!

Here are the dimensions I found from 1 site
FINISHED SIZE: Standard Case: 21" x 32"; Queen: 21" x 36";
King Case: 21" x 42"
These will cover pillows nicely, with plenty of room. We are assuming the following pillow measurements:
Standard: 20" x 26"; Queen: 20" x 30"; King: 20" x 36"
Here's a link to the site I found them on. Instructions are posted on that page. pillowcase instructions (http://craftandfabriclinks.com/pillowcases/cases.html)
I'm going to keep looking to see if I can find anything else.

The only boy fabric I have is one with constuction vehicles on it. I hope this will be ok.
Having 3 girls, "boy" fabric is a bit sparse here. LOL.
Sonya - can you PM me the address when you get it.
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat - not much "boy" fabric here, but I found some yellow flannel with firetrucks and squad cars (surprise!) With a blue accent, I think it will be boyish enough. :)
I've got the address - pm me when you need it.
Thanks for helping!

Heard from Janel - here's what she wrote:
"He loves green and Star Wars! He also Loves soft fabric. He is very funny about that sometimes."
Maybe that will help with ideas? :)
I also have the correct address to send to now.

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to sew over the next couple of weeks, but if I have time, I'd love to make 1 or 2 for him. Will you send his address please? TIA :)
