Since I did the Christmas Pillowcase Tally the other day, I thought I had better keep myself honest by putting some notes down about the pillowcases I want to make the Young Man for college. I may need help, but we will see.
I want them to be punny, if possible
September
- Theme: soft
- Fabric: Minkee and flannel
I was tempted by a “School Daze” theme, but I don’t want to send him something that will embarrass him. I also want him to use the pillowcases. I decided to make him a really soft pillowcase so I bought some Minkee to try. I am about half done with it.
October – Done
- Theme: Halloween
- Fabric: skeleton fabric by Timeless Treasures
November
- Theme: Thanksgiving
- Fabric: timeless Treasures Golden Harvest
I was disappointed I couldn’t find a cornucopia fabric, but I did find another fabric that looks very Thanksgiving-y.

I’d be tempted to make a pillowcase from Philip Jacobs fabric, but I don’t think that would be popular.
Food is always a good fill in theme for months where there is no apparent theme. I think I have some Pokemon and Star Trek fabric that can become pillowcases as well.
February – Super Bowl, Ground Hog Day, Carrot Cake Day, Boy Scout Day, Polar Bear Day, Umbrella month.
March – Chocolate month, Music in schools month, Pi day, St. Patrick’s day, and my favorite, National Pig Day
April – Frog month, Garden month, Guitar month, Earth Day (I think)
May – I like the idea of Cinco di Mayo, but it’s also the month that the Golden Gate Bridge opened, and of course, Memorial Day
I don’t think he would appreciate a Phillip Jacobs print pillowcase, no. I, on the other hand…
LOL! I’ll keep in mind that you want a Philip Jacobs pillowcase!
These are all great ideas. Thanks! I appreciate your help.
