Creating 'Simple', but Eye-Catching Pillowcases

Option 1. 'Fun' Pillowcases

These vibrant pillowcases will suit any interior.

Creating such pillowcases is easy and simple. You will need bright buttons, crochet doilies of various sizes with the simplest pattern or bright fabric scraps (strips, circles, triangles or any other shape) and a sewing kit.

For the pillowcase base, any dense fabric, preferably cotton, that is easy to embroider with buttons, doilies or fabric strips can be used.

Option 2. 'Soft' Pillowcases

This option creates a gentle romantic atmosphere and does not require special financial investment.

To create romance, you need to purchase fabric for soft pillowcases, preferably pastel colors (pink shades, white or coffee color).

Embroidered designs on the pillowcase are best chosen in floral variants, in the form of hearts or gentle lines and stripes. For example, mini roses can be easily made from fabric strips, stems and leaves. At the same time, the pillowcase can be decorated with small beads or sequins in tone with the created design.

Option 3. 'Appliqué' Pillowcases

This type of pillowcase requires more time to create. Since the appliqué mostly has complex designs.

However, in most fabric stores you can buy ready-made appliqués for sewing onto pillowcases. Therefore, all you need to do is sew the pillowcase itself.
