    Pillowcase Party – SeaWatch Fabrics

    Have you joined our Pillowcase Party? Throughout the month of February, you can hop and shop and make a difference. Over 120 online independent quilt shops and fabric stores are taking part–and many have put together special kits and other items that make it easier for you to make a pillowcase to donate to the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. We’ll be featuring shops throughout the month of February. Today, let’s hear from SeaWatch Fabrics.

    SeaWatch Fabrics, an online vendor of fine fabrics, give you a chance to make “one of a kind” pillowcases for donation to the charity of your choice.  We have listed some organizations that will accept pillowcases in our county, but feel free to make and donate where you reside.  Our silky Asians and stunning batik fabrics lend themselves to this simple project that can do so much good for someone in our communities.  We at SeaWatch fabrics want to have a good hand in helping to make this effort a success!  Here are a couple of examples of our pillowcase kits, all you need to do is sit down and sew.
