Today I am actually going to make a mattress cover for my pup's bed using
this method. He has two pillows in his crate that I am going to make cases
for, also. I bought a ton of fleece when it was on sale at JoAnn's a few
weeks ago & will be making game day throws & baby blankets. Super excited
about doing this!
