Crayon colored pillowcases

First I traced a picture onto the paper side of a piece of freezer paper. Then I cut a piece of white fabric to 40.5" x 24.5"
I centered the freezer paper on the wrong side of the fabric and ironed the shiny side
to back of the fabric.
Then I traced the picture onto the right side of the fabric using a light table(a widow could be used too) with a sharpie.
I let my kids color the pictures in with crayons.
Then I put a piece of paper over the picture and ironed it (to set the crayon, and keep my iron clean).
Finally I sewed them into pillowcases.
The top is a piece cut to 12.5" x 40.5" folded in half.
The ruffle is 3.5" x 80" then pleated
or
2" x 40.5" folded in half.
Hope this all makes sense, if not, feel free to ask me any questions.
