Last year for Christmas my sister-in-law gave all the siblings Christmas pillowcases. This is a tradition passed down from Dan's mom who gave the kids a new pillowcase (or got out last years if it wasn't worn out) the beginning of December to sleep on for the month. This was yet another way to make the holiday special and hype up the kids for the Christmas season :)
I thought it was such a great idea I decided right after Christmas to go out and buy fabric on sale (another Sherry tradition!) to make some for the next Christmas to give to my family. I had a lot of fun picking out fabric patterns and matching them together. It is really quite easy to do, but in my typical style I procrastinated for quite a while until I realized I need to crank these out if I was going to get them in the mail after Thanksgiving!
The original thought was to just give to my nieces, but I soon realized I had enough to give to my mom and siblings as well.
I even had enough fabric to make another set for Dan and I. I've been sleeping on mine ever since. It makes me smile every time I see it, I hope it does the same for my family.

They are beautiful! I adore the color schemes you choose ... they complement each other very well. You inspire me to learn to sew better ... maybe in the next year or two I will make some for my family - my kids would love to have them for the whole month of December. I think it would help make the month even that much more special.
Merry Christmas :) !!
