I can't think of anything more comforting on a cold night than a soft, warm pillow. The second addition to the hope chest is a pair of pillowcases made up in a soft-as-suede, 100% cotton flannel, purchased from Connecting Threads. The color is called Honeysuckle, a cheerful, bright yellow.
I found this, "Easy Tube Pillowcase Tutorial", on YouTube:

They were very easy to make and are a good, generous size; most pillowcases that come with flannel sheet sets are so small I have trouble getting pillows inside them.
Have you started a hope chest? Are you making things to put inside? I'd like to see them.
Think about it,

Those are so beautiful. I haven't started one but I need to. Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteThey will certainly feel good on a cold winter's night. I think I am a little old for a hope chest but then maybe for my granddaughter-----the one who says she is never getting married and doesn't like boys.
ReplyDeletethose are pretty pillow cases - who is the hope chest for - or no one in mind at this point? whoever will be lucky!
ReplyDeleteI think I could rest easy on a pretty, soft pillowcase like these. I think I might be tempted to put these on my own pillow! I may have to take at look at Connecting Threads flannel.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Connecting Threads flannel, these look amazingly cozy. I love sleeping in/on flannel on cold winter nights.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Snuggling down on a soft bright pillow is a recipe for sweet dream on a cold night.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow cases are lovely and a perfect addition to your hope-chest.
Hope your week is bright and warm like sunshine. :)
Soft and beautiful! I love them!
ReplyDeleteI can almost feel the softness! I had a hope chest (it's in the garage now).
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice addition to your hope chest. Too old for a Hope Chest here but wish I would have had one. I have used that pattern for pillowcases and isn't it amazing and fun! Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe pillowcases are lovely, Charlotte. I love that cheery yellow color.
