Sew For A Cause: Amazing Grace Pillowcase, Inc.
Amazing Grace Pillowcase is not only looking for pillowcase donations, but also fabric donations if you’re looking to destash.
Mary Albaugh started Amazing Grace Pillowcase in 2013 as a, “pillowcase ministry that counts on donated fabric and volunteers to sew bright, colorful pillowcases for sick children in and out of hospital settings and the homeless and the sadly forgotten, lonely nursing home residents.”
This organization’s mission is calling all sewists who want to bring sweet slumber to people in need.
A pillowcase from Amazing Grace Pillowcase, Inc. provides fun and colorful decor in what is likely a white, sterile room.
The organization also provides beautiful handmade, patriotic pillowcases as a special way of thanking veterans for their service who are in hospice.
Mary believes it is not just a pillowcase, but an act of love and a symbol of hope.

Burrito Method Or Bust!
If you’re new to making pillowcases, one of the easiest and most effective methods to sewing a pillowcase is called the burrito method.
What’s great about the burrito method is that it not only hides the raw edges (aka French seams), but also allows you to create a pillowcase with a border as an easy part of the process.
Create To Donate’s step-by-step tutorial on how to sew a pillowcase using the burrito method gives you all the details you need!
Pillowcases Bring Great Comfort
When people think of comfort items, pillowcases are one of the top on the list.
They can be as simple as a color block solids, or fabric with a pattern or theme tailored to the recipient.
So when you’re deciding what to make next, please consider using some of your fabric stash to donate some pillowcases to Amazing Grace Pillowcase, Inc.
