Supplies:

Sewing Instructions:
- Cut the body of the case 26 1/2″ x 40 1/2″ and the border 10 1/2″ x 40 1/2″.
- Fold the border in half lengthwise, with the wrong sides together, and press.
- Place the right side of the border on the right side of the body of the case. Stitch together using a 1/2″ seam allowance.
- Place right sides of the pillowcase together. Stitch down the side and across the bottom. Turn to the right side and press.
- Please finish seams so the pillowcases will not fray.
NOTE: Make sure to wash the fabric for the protection of the children with suppressed immunity. Please check with your local chapter for specific hospital washing instructions. In addition place each pillowcase in a ziplock bag. Pillowcases must be dropped off at a drop off site or mailed to the coordinator. Do not deliver directly to the hospitals.
