Learn basic sewing while creating functional bedroom décor. Pillowcases are perfect beginner sewing projects—simple straight seams, immediate results, and room for creative fabric choices. Master measuring, cutting fabric with grain, sewing straight lines, finishing edges cleanly, and creating French seams for durability. Choose from endless fabric patterns to match any style or season.
Make sets as gifts, try decorative techniques (contrasting cuffs, embroidery, ruffles), or create matching bedding collections. Each pillowcase takes 1-2 hours and costs $5-15 in materials. Skills learned transfer to more complex sewing projects. Handmade pillowcases add personal touch to bedrooms and make thoughtful housewarming gifts.
