Dish Towel Pillow Case
Dish Towel Pillow:
I was able after Christmas last year to purchase lots of Christmas plaid dish towels for cheap. These are directions for making a small pillow case (for a travel size pillow) but could easily be made as pillow sham for regular size pillows. ( Holiday Bed Spread out of these same towels https://www.instructables.com/id/HOW-TO-MAKE-A-HOLIDAY-BEDSPREAD/ )
Supplies:
Dish Towels (2 per travel pillow - approximate 6 for a regular pillow) amounts could vary depending on the size of the towels and pillows
Yarn to match or compliment towels
Yarn needles
Scissors

Sewing Towels
To begin make sure your towels are wrong side to wrong side. You will stitch around three sides leaving one narrow end open to insert pillow. (see pictures) I finished off the open end by stitching around (see pictures)
I used a simple blanket stitch, (see several pictures) In one side out the other and over yarn to make a loop stitch.

This is a simple but fun way to make pillow case.
