Tutorial - How to Make a Full Size Pillowcase with Treasure Pocket

Cutie boy! My boys used to sleep with little toys too. The pocket pillowcase is a great idea!

Full Size Pillowcase with Treasure Pocket Tutorial at Vermillion Rules
"Jakson insists on sleeping with about 40 (no exaggeration) little tiny plastic dinosaurs. They are the bane of my existence. He has each one memorized and inevitably loses them somewhere in his bed three or four times a night, which incites a scream fest until we go into his room and find the missing dino.
It is so annoying.
After a particularly frustrating dino rescue, I decided that an intervention was necessary. An intervention in the form of a pocket. And thus, the Pillowcase with a Pocket was born.
And since other moms might be having similar problems with little treasures in bed, I thought I'd share...." Read more

They have sweatshirts for: cities they have visited, their high school and elementary school, concerts, concert venues, and their favorite colleges. After a time, a sweatshirt becomes neglected and is replaced by one that is more important to them. Pretty soon it makes its way to the giveaway pile.

Tutorial - How to Make aTutu Pettiskirt

Just plain precious! Unique too!

Tutu Pettiskirt Tutorial at Kitschy Coo
"I was a reluctant convert to the toddler tutu. Beyond being more girly / princessy than this tomboy mum could handle, I just didn't like the proportions of a gigantic pouffey skirt on such short little legs. This is why I've made mine drop-waisted with all the swishy pouffey bulk from the hips down. And you can use a fashion fabric for the top tier for a bit of character. And it saves some gathering time. Triple win. The other feature I've added to the pettiskirt is a lining skirt to the same proportions underneath. Many reasons: tulle can be scratchy so this protects the legs, it gives coverage so there's no hint of underpants showing through, and it also gives it structure so you can get away with making perhaps less tulle skirts than you would have without it. Which means less gathering time again. Hooray..." Read more
