Applique Pillow Cases



These are super cute and fun for little girls!  I simply cut out letters using my Cricut machine.  You first have to spray starch your material and let it dry.  Then iron on either lite or heavy Heat & Bond and then your fabric feels like paper!  I put my machine on a level 5 for cutting, low speed and went from there!  Then of course after you cut the letters out you iron them onto your fabric and then quickly sew around the edges.  Super easy and super cute!! 
You need:
Heat & Bond--Heavy or Lite either works.  Lite is really lite and requires sewing and heavy "says" that you don't have to sew and that it is permanent, but I have found that some materials don't bond as well as others
Material-I would go buy quilting squares.  I just used the material I had on hand, but in the future I will go buy fabric all in the same color family to make it look more together.
Ribbon--if you want to add it to the top--totally optional though
Cricut machine to cut out letters.  
Sewing Machine to sew around the letters to make sure that they hold
