A few months ago I happened upon this wonderful vintage flowery sheet. It was quite faded in the middle but was far too beautiful and precious a find to pass up - besides I knew exactly what I would do with it.
Pillowcases. As if I needed anymore. I have come to realise that for me pillowcases are the equivalent of shoes and chocolate for other (normal) women! Saddo! Don't the flowers look great with my lilac candy stripe pillowcase? Makes my mouth water.
So it only took months to get around to making these and get my sewing machine out. First time this year but it was good - mainly because I managed to get access to the dining room table due to there not being a teenager/student hogging it.
Look it's a clear table - wow!
And here is a finished pillowcase.
But the best bit of all is trying out your new sewing with your darlingest darling.
It started out quite sensibly.
Then a certain person got a little giddy.
And it all got out of hand.
Yeah, pillowcases are much more fun than shoes and chocolate!
