Well, I am a convert to Wal Mart sheets now! Mine are Canopy brand and are packaged in a fabric covered storage box that now lives in my top drawer of my dresser. They are extremely soft and look like a cotton sateen and they only cost me $44 for a queen size set (the last sheet set I bought at JCPenney was at least $80!). I always get a second set of matching pillow cases because I sleep with about a thousand pillows…but I got to thinking. The pillowcases cost $20 separately, so for an additional $22 I could get another fitted and flat sheet in addition to the pillowcases.

I know this is getting complicated here, but bear with me! I bought two sheet sets and used the extra flat sheet to make pillow cases for my assorted pillows. I just measured the pillows and cut two pieces about six inches longer and two inches wider than the pillows. And I made pillow case seams on them so they look professional!

I even used the hem on the sheet to make the hem on the pillowcases so they look professional. So, to recap, I made two body pillow cases, two smaller rectangular pillow cases and a cover for my cylinder shaped pillow.

Isn’t that quilt beautiful? I’ll tell you more about it later…I got a smoking deal on it too!
So now I have an two fitted sheets, and four regular pillowcases, one flat sheet (those suckers never wear out!) and a total of six pillowcases I made. And I have a large chunk of fabric left. Now I need to think about what to do with that extra piece of fabric….
