One problem two soultions

There was one problem with the bed set..it only came with one pillowcase. The pillowcase had one side with Prime on in and the other side with Bumble Bee.
 This became a big issue at bed time because it was a fight to which boy got the pillow and since Thomas likes Prime and Sup likes Bumble Bee they wouldn't even share.
 My solution..Make two pillowcases one for each boy. It was kind of a pain to unpick the pillowcase because you had the serger end and the actual stitch line. It was also a panel piece so I had to cut it at the top to make two separate pieces..one Prime and one Bumble Bee.
 I already had some dark blue fabric so I cut out a back for each pillow sewed it on the three sides and put the hem on the other side and created two Transformers pillowcases. (Sup wouldn't leave his pillow so he is pretending to sleep and this is excatly how he sleeps :)  
The boys acted liked it was Christmas all over again and because I didn't finish them until about 8:30 pm they were really excited to go to bed. So they took their two pillows and joyfully hopped in their bed and I have a nice quiet night :)
