A Tutorial On How To Make Maui Style Pillowcases

By Christa Jarvis


Maui is known to be one of the largest islands in Hawaii and is known for its unique type of art. It is because of this that many people would use this style in order to make beddings like pillowcases or bedsheets. Now if one is interested in knowing how to make Maui style pillowcases, here is a tutorial on how to do it the very easy way.

Now if one would want to make some Hawaiian inspired pillowcases, he first must get the materials for this. Now probably the most important thing that he will be needing would of course be the fabric. Other things that will be needed for the process would be some scissors, a needle, and a few colors of thread.

Now with regard to fabric, one would have two ways to go about when dealing with the fabric. The first way, which is the easiest way, would be to buy existing fabric that would have some Hawaiian designs imprinted on them. The second way, which is harder and would require some creative juice, would be to start from scratch.

Now if one would want to start from scratch, he would first have to buy plain fabric with no design on it. Now the next thing that he has to do would be to think up of a Maui design like a palm tree, the beach complete with a sun, or maybe even a coconut. Of course from there, he would have to cross stitch the design on the fabric.

Now after one has already stitched his design, then the next step would be to cut the fabric into a front and a back part. Of course before one would cut up the fabric, he has to first measure the size of the fabric. He has to make the size of the two pieces a little bit larger than the pillow so that it will be able to fit.

Now after doing that, then the next thing that one must do would be to sew the two pieces of fabric together. So in order to do this, one would first have to start with the bottom part of the pillow and attach the two parts together. All he has to do would be to stitch the two ends together thoroughly.

After that, then he should stitch the right and the left sides together as well the same way he did the bottom. So what is now left would be the top part which should not be sewn because this is where the pillow goes in. Now if he would want to add some variation to the pillow, he can put a zipper there so that he can zip up the pillowcase when the pillow is put inside.

So if one would want to create one of these Hawaiian styled pillowcases, here are the steps on how to do it. Now one would need some skills in sewing to make this kind of thing. He would also need to be a little creative if he wants to start from scratch.
