Does your little one has a favorite pillow? Mine has their pirate theme pillows and Peter Pan bedding set made by mommy few months ago, but as we'll be spending a night at grandpa's house this CNY, I decided to sew my little ones towel pillow that is suitable for traveling used.
Here's how the mommy-designed pillow case looks like..
Why use towel? Well, it's soft, comfortable, and as I planned to have an animal face design on the pillowcase, towel provides a good fluffy touch akin soft toy. Of course you may used quilting cotton or other cushion materials, but since I have leftover from the hooded towel I made earlier, they came in just handy. Besides,my little boy has this habit of rubbing his favorite hanky during bedtime, so I sewn on a piece of his favorite hanky as the "tummy", that made him really really excited and I don't have to search for his hanky in the dark anymore, it's definitely a win-win situation for us.
This 1 page pictorial tutorial says it all. Only 3 simple steps to create a really cute and cuddly pillow case for your little darling. :)
I planned the design first on my idea book..
Cut the towels and felt, assembled them according to the design.. I added the pink ears for extra cutie points :)
Wa-la, all done and ready to be cuddled!
My little boy is so in loved with his new pillow case that he hugged it to sleep the very first night after I gave it a wash. One hand on his favorite hanky and one hand hugging the pillow.
The pillow case for my bunny girl was just completed last night and now hanging dry in the back yard. I shall upload the pic later. It has same design with slight twist only. Hope she loves it as much as the little brother..
Wait a minute.. Here it is, the baby girl version bunny pillow case is done. The baby bunny girl and little rat pillows are ready to accompany my duo into dreamland...
In fact, both of them love their new pillow cases so much that they hugged them to sleep every night. These pillows now doubled up as their soft toys too, pretty handy huh..
Now, we are so ready to sleep over anywhere! :)

- some sewing pins
- 2 buttons for the open edge (optional)
Happy crafting, if you happened to make one, do feel free to share the photos! :)

早前我为两兄妹做了海盗枕头套和小飞侠被单，小哥哥每晚睡觉非它不可。这次想到在农历新年期间可能在公公家居住一晚凑热闹，而且在做了宝贝的可爱猫猫帽毛巾后还有点剩布，所以决定帮两个小宝各做个可爱小动物毛巾枕头套。
效果还不错吧？ :)
毛巾又软又松的，做小孩枕头套还挺适合的。我加了两个深红色小耳朵，增添可爱感。另外我把宝贝的心爱小手帕缝上去当＂肚子＂，现在小哥哥可以抚摸他的心爱手帕入睡，不需要我在漆黑黑的房里眼蒙蒙的帮他寻找失踪手帕。
小哥哥真的好喜欢他的新枕套，洗好晒干后急迫不及待的要求抱着睡觉。看着他脸上挂着那幸福的笑容，妈妈的满足感超标！:)
小妹妹也很欢喜她的小兔子枕头，抱着在床上翻来覆去睡着了。。这枕头也可以当毛公仔来玩，一无二用哦！
明天就是除夕了，愿在回家途中的你有一个愉快旅程，在家中忙碌的你有一个美好的一天，在血拼购物的你满载而归。
