Other Cool Freebies

• Super Eggplant's Pillowcases 101 - Make your own pillowcases. (Note: there is an error on this otherwise simple set of instructions. When she says to cut a large rectangle 33-5/8" x 20-1/4", she forgot to double the short side (open edge). If you follow those directions, you'll get one side of the case. So just double the short side (and add a little, if you aren't a precise sewer (like me)) and cut a rectangle that is 33-5/8" x 40.5".)
