how I made my really cute PIGGY PILLOWCASES--my sewing obsession

Well, first I went to the quilting class of Kathy Green---one of my sewing heroes...

then I saw the barnyard pig fabric...one of the other students was making a pillowcase...

I felt as if I would expire if I could not have that fabric....so I immediately went to Rosie's Calico Cupboard and bought it...It was about 8 dollars a yard...100% cotton.

I used the pillowcase pattern Kathy gave us in class...it is all over you tube...it is basically the burrito technique with french seams...it is very simple.,,,(after I cut it incorrectly and had to re-cut it so the pigs would be right side up on the bed.)

I had the lace from a purchased table runner....and now I am trying to sell them....or use them for a wall hanging....anything to just keep talking about them because they are soooooo cute.

MY SEWING OBSESSION

I cannot stop sewing.  I began sewing with my grandma as she made my school clothes and I eventually started making my own clothes.  I still had her doing all of the handwork, hems, etc.

Kathy Green is my amazing teacher for quilting--I love sewing but Kathy keeps me moving forward; otherwise I will be stuck on one little stitch and never finish the project.
