Suggestions for decorating a
pillowcase.
1. Purchase a pillowcase at your local store and
wash it before you decorate it.
2. Use fabric markers or rubber stamps with a dye
or fabric ink.
3. Puffy paint and other fabric paint could be uncomfortable
when the person is sleeping. If you are using fabric paint,
apply it with a brush.
4. You can also use stencils or other material
irons for decorations.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I do with my pillowcase when it is
finished?
- We want you to choose a place that you would like
to make a difference. There are several organizations
that should accept your wonderful creations.
- Where should we send the pillowcases if we created
them for hospitals?
- Please send the pillowcases directly to the coordinators,
not the hospitals. The hospitals do not have the facilities
to store these. The coordinators will make all of
the arrangements to deliver the pillowcases to the
respective hospitals.
- What we don't have a local coordinator to deliver
to hospitals?
- Conkerr Cancer is a great place to send your pillowcases.

- What type of fabric should we use if we are sewing
them?
- If you are sewing the pillowcases for hospitals
you should only use 100% cotton fabric. Also, please
do not use flannel fabric as it won’t be accepted
at the hospitals.
- If you are not sewing the pillowcases
for hospitals then you can use a 50/50 blend, flannel,
or cotton.
- What pattern should I use on my pillowcase?
- Please remember to create a variety of designs for
your pillowcases. Girls, boys and teens. If you are
creating them for adults, you can use unisex materials
such as shapes, stripes, checks.
- What if I am planning an event to deliver the
pillowcases to a family shelter?
- If you are planning an event and delivering them
to a shelter or assisted living home, try to get the
number of adult male/female and children's ages/gender.
Assign the participants a person to create their pillowcase
for. Example: Adult Male or Girl/Age 12. That way
you will not receive 25 girl pillowcases and 1 boy
pillowcase
