Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference!

Join this yearlong national challenge — spearheaded by American Patchwork & Quilting and sponsored by Fabric Shoppers Unite, among others — and help donate 1 million pillowcases to local charities. 

 

Here at Abbi May’s, we have put together pillowcase kits with fabrics from our shop.  Each kit inludes pattern and fabrics needed to make one “20 Minute Pillowcase”.  Our kits are precut so you only need a sewing machine, thread and iron!

Read about our easy ”20 Minute Pillowcase” pattern here: Gabbi  Abbi.

If you don’t have a charity to donate pillowcases to, you may send completed pillowcases  back to me and I will donate them to  Every Womans Place in Muskegon MI.
