Pillowcase Tutorial





Some sisters in our stake worked to stitch up a collection of pillowcases for the local Women's Shelter. Great job, ladies! There have been requests for instructions so sisters can continue the project on their own. I realize not everyone finds written instructions easy to understand, so I put together a short video that demonstrates how to make one, step-by-step. I hope it helps!
