A New Twist on Pillowcases

 The addition of a pocket to a standard pillowcase idea was

found on another bloggers page.  It's pretty simple and if you

already know how to make a pillowcase the pocket is

approximately 7" high x 10" long.  Simply measure up

around 7" from the bottom edge for the pocket placement.

 To give this pocket added cuteness I added a row of two 

different ribbons across the top.  This row is added 

approximately 2" from the top of the pocket for those

that want to give this a try.  

I had some stuffed dogs complete but the pocket can

 be used to hold anything small like a journal, phone,

tissues, etc.  Some Facebook friends suggested making

the stuffed dogs with a tiny pocket for kids

loosing teeth so it's easy for the tooth fairy to find.

 Two pillowcases in one. 

That's what I call it when I take the extra step to make 

the back fabric different then the front.

The pockets were only added to the front fabric - the

back fabric remained pocket-less {is that a word?}.

I was surprised at the positive responses I received when I posted

the pillowcase pictures on Facebook ... so I added the set to

the Westie Rescue of New York's fund raising page.  Whatever

amount of $'s they bring to this group will help with the

medical bills they are currently facing.
