We chop and dice, saute and bake — for days.
We clean like our lives depend on it.
We set the table with surgical precision.
When we finally sit down to the table, we breathe the world’s biggest sigh of relief.
It’s perfect! (Or perfectly imperfect, if you’re at my house!).
But there is one thing, as I look around the table, that always makes me giggle: My kids’ Spiderman pillowcases “adorning” our seder pillows.
While there’s something endearing about a seder with character pillowcases, if you want to bring a bit more elegance to your seder table, there is an alternative: Passover Seder Pillowcases.
Designed by expert stylist Esther O (you may remember her from her fantastic penny napkin ring holders tutorial), these Passover pillow covers are stunning!
With two unique styles to choose from, Passover pillowcases make the perfect gift for your seder host — or for yourself.
Pillowcases are a cotton/poly blend with embroidery and rhinestones, and fit standard-sized bed pillows.
Just toss them in the washing machine and they will look like new, year after year.
Ester O is running a special three-day sale just for KOAB readers. Normally $29.99, your choice of Passover Seder Pillowcases are $24.99 each with FREE shipping when you use the coupon code seder5off.
This sale is good thru Thursday, March 7th only!
I’m also excited that Esther has offered to give away two pillowcases to two lucky KOAB readers.

I painstakingly needlepointed a seder pillowfor a 6th grade school project. It somehow got misplaced at my parents’ house (probably eaten by the sock monster) so it’s been a regular bed pillow since then!

We use homemade pillow cases from my kids school projects, and one year, we took a plain pillow case and we had each of the grandkids put on their handprints for a gift for my father.

We use whatever pillows are on the beds, with our regular pillowcases from the linen closet. This pillowcase looks like a much better option!

We use extra pillows which usually hang out on the couch or throw pillows. I put on simple matching cases (it’s easier when there are just two of us).
We use handmade ones from kids’ projects

I have one pillowcase I embroidered in elementary school, and a few the kids made in school. The rest we use regular cases.

Whatever’s around
We use regular pillow cases every year.
Last year we made a huge tent in the living room and sat on beanbags and huge pillows like we were in a bedouin tent. Everyone loved it. This year is back to the table and I’d love to use these amazing pillowcases by Esther O.

Usually we realize as we are about to sit down for the Seder that we forgot pillows so we grab what every is close by – pillows from the couch and regular pillows cases.

Love the look at the Seder
My usual pillowcase is whatever I take off the bed. But this year will be different. I ordered a pillow case to take to Israel. I also liked Esther O’s face book page. I don’t have to clue how to use pinterest, but I clicked the button on the top of this page. If I have to do more than that I don’t know what it is. I need a pnterest tutorial. thanks for all your ideas and suggestions.
I use handmade pillowcases from school projects and then try to scrape some semi-decent ones from around the house. We try not to get the stained/bleached/faded ones and will settle with flowers or kiddy-room ones.
One day I hope to be able to afford nice ones like these. At least for Hubby.
I need a facebook and Pininterest tutorial!!
Anyone know how to do these things and teach me? I feel like I am from the Stone Age. At least I can email and text! I am actually not old enough to feel this way (haven’t reached my 40s yet) but still can’t figure it out!
Can you do a special article on how to do all these things so we can get the special deals that you often mention?
What I use for Passover Pillows: When we moved to Richmond, Va eons ago, Linda Steigman (yes, that Linda, now Rabbi Linda) made us a throw pillow of yellow gingham cross-stitched with Shalom Y’all in Ivrit. Well, 34 years have taken their toll, but its one of the pillows we use.
I inherited a bunch of beautiful hand embroidered linen linen towels from DH’s grandmother’s trousseau (She was married in 1906.) Wasn’t going to throw them out, but wasn’t going to use them in the kitchen either…. so I made an afikoimen bag from one that had her monogram on it, and used the others to make pillowcases for Pesach. That brings the older generation to our Passover table.
Addition to the above.

I also set up a Pinterest page. Name – TucsonBarbara and I invited you to it b/c I did not know what else to do..
I feel better about not understanding Pinterest know that I know an under 40 is baffled by it. (I’m 70 and am clueless.)
Regular pillowcases from the linen closet, whatever is clean and available.
We use purchased pillowcases and some of use don’t use any! Now we have a chance to get 2!
