I made a plain pillowcase with the farm fabric and had a strip about 8 inches wide left over and thought it would be ok to go along the top edge of another pillowcase, but I didnt have another fabric to use for the rest of it so I had a bag of calico scraps that toned in real well with the fabric. Then I discovered that the pieces were not wide enough for the pillowcase measurements. I figured that since it would have to have a join in it that I would just chop it all up and make the patch work on the front and plain on the back. I had got the cow designs last year and had been keeping them for Cameron and thought this was the perfect time for them and so this is the result. I had one little piece of the printed fabric left and so I made a pocket on the top edge so he could put a tissue or his cows in it while he layed on it. I embroidered Happy 2nd Birthday and who it was from for when he is older so he will know I made it for him on the inside flap. Turned out well for scraps.

Sanjoy, I believe that, given half a chance, you can turn dust into gold!

Thank you, only have one complaint about one of the cows and that is that the last colour wouldnt sew out, so I went without it after walking back over it a couple of times thats the one with the calves.It was only the black on his nose.

A clever idea, making good use of scraps, looking good & making a Grandson very happy too.

Thank you, it will go with the plain pillowcase I made for him. I think he will think the pocket will be niffty when he knows that you can put something in it.
