Remember to have the right-side of the fabric facing up. Place your fabric in to the hoop with a piece of stabilizer beneath.I rotated my design so that the base of the words would run long the fold line. Place the design in the middle of the hoop. Adjust the size of your design to fit the hoop.

You could embroider someone’s name, a meaningful word or image. I chose to use the words “Coffee, Create, Sleep, Repeat” in the built-in cursive font. The fold line will be your reference point for embroidery

Using the Front Pillowcase Piece, fold along the fold line (15cm + 2cm hem allowance).

Use whichever size is best for the size of your chosen embroidery design. I used the Oval Hoop as that is the largest size hoop I currently have. If you don’t have a Pillowcase to measure and make a pattern from, follow the steps provided in this downloadable document: Envelope Pillowcase Pattern Guide Embroidery If all else fails, go with the most common size or gift a pillow with your pillowcase. While I don’t recommend sneaking into someone’s room to measure their pillow, maybe ask someone who lives with them if they know. I would suggest trying to check the size of the intended pillow if you are gifting a pillowcase. There are different sized pillow inners such as Standard, King, Queen… There are also small scatter cushions. (amount dependent on the size of your pillow) I still have a pillowcase with my name painted on my gran gave me when I was little. It can be a sweet keepsake or an easy personal gift for any age. I decided to make myself some embroidered pillowcases for my bed using colours that would bring together some of the more prominent colours in my room.Ī custom pillowcase or cushion cover would make a great gift. I’ve noticed that a great way to add a bit of my personality to my room is through home textiles. I think the only non second hand item are the purple shelves which come from a bunk bed my dad built me when I was younger. My furniture is second hand, a lot of which are gifted or inherited vintage items. It is so special to fill your own place with unique pieces. I recently moved in to small Studio and am really enjoying creating my own personal space.
