Good morning Cuties, I just made a pillowcase out of Christmas fabric. Would it look okay to just give one case and not a pair for bus trip gifts?

My daughter said they could use it on the hotel pillows, when they travel, but knowing me, I'd forget it on the pillow-lol-she also suggested me to make smaller pillows like your bed pillows for travel and cases to match. I know a few ladies bring their own pillow from home with them....
I did tell her a lot of these ladies are single, either widowed or divorced so they may sleep in a single bed.....what do you think, one case or a pair?

update-decided to go ahead and make some more- We have 10 couples on this trip, so a pair can go to a couple. Not sure how it will work out, if I bundle them together...may have to tie them separate.

Oh! These are just gorgeous Toogie, I love them. That red and white herringbone type fabric is the same pattern as our David Jones Department store only its black and white. I do think they have the red and white when they have sales though. Love Chris

Chris I got all this fabric after a season sale. I'm sure I didn't pay much. I can do that as I don't NEED any fabric (lol) and can wait for a reduction. I'm glad you like them and show me yours when you make them. I love to see different fabrics.

Very pretty. I think one would be fine. If a couple each wins one then that is a bonus. Hugs. Nan W

Thanks Mrs Lillian, this is the first time I've given pillowcases. They are quick to make but take yardage..

Lovely! Whether they are gifted as one or a pair...they will be enjoyed! Perhaps you could do both...single travelers get one....couple gets a pair...you are in charge here, Toogie.

If I can work it for couples to receive a pair I will, but I still will give a single one since I have 5.

They are very pretty and I think one is perfectly fine as a gift.
