These were my first project after the apron. I used Anna's pattern, which worked out so beautifully. We needed pillowcases, and I couldn't stand paying ten dollars a pair! With a free sheet and a dollar's worth of fabric, we have something much more fun now (if not quite perfect in workmanship). After I finish Red Chief's quilt, I will make some to match it, too. What good practice for a beginner like me!

I agree! Pillowcases were my first sewing project. Yours turned out darling! They make great gifts, too. I gave all my nieces Christmas ones one year. And I've made special toothfairy ones with a pocket.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to re-learn how to sew as well. Your projects are inspiring me to actually pick up and do it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI made those same pillowcases from Anna's pattern.

Yours are really pretty. Well done. I am a beginner sewer too.
