September– Done
- Theme: soft
- Fabric: Minkee and flannel
- Theme: Back to School
- Fabric: Timeless Treasures Fun #2306
As I said in my previous post, I was tempted by a “School Daze” theme, but I didn’t want to send him something that will embarrass him. I also want him to use the pillowcases. I decided to make him a really soft pillowcase, which I did. Then In Eureka, I saw the Timeless Treasures fabric. I texted him a picture and he approved so I bought some fabric and made the pillowcase when I got home from dropping him off. It went into his first care package.
October – Done
- Theme: Halloween
- Fabric: skeleton fabric by Timeless Treasures for the body. The cuff is an old P&B Fabric.
This is a gimme. Very easy fabric to choose and I am pretty sure the YM will like it.
I also made 3 matching Hallowe’en pillowcases for the YM and his roommates.
November – Done
- Theme: Thanksgiving
- Fabric: Timeless Treasures Golden Harvest
I was disappointed I couldn’t find a cornucopia fabric, but this fabric looks very Thanksgiving-y.
December
- Theme: Christmas
- Fabric: not purchased
January – Done
- Theme: Pokemon
- Fabric: Robert Kaufman licensed from Nintendo
I had the fabric on my ‘to be ironed’ pile and the YM saw it. I didn’t say that it was for a pillowcase for him and asked him if he would want a pillowcase out of it. He, very tactfully, said I should make one for someone else, so I made one with red fabric for the body and a cuff from the Pokemon fabric. I have another pillowcase with a Pokemon body and think I will give it to his cousin, who is 11.
