Vintage Crocheted Pillowcase


I fell in love with the crocheted trimmed pillowcases on the very talented rose hip's blog.   She inspired me with her beautiful and colorful fabrics and yarn to try my hand at adding crochet trim.  

I was surprised when I found a pair of vintage pillowcases in my linen drawer with this pretty tiny purple  flowers pattern and thought they would be so pretty crocheted with purple cotton yarn.  I'm a beginner crocheter and have tried a few times to work with thread without any success.  So for now I work with yarn.  One pillowcase down and one more to go.   

Wish me luck!

  6. Sandy, you did a great job! I've been inspired by rose hip's pillowcases too. It is on my list of to-dos. Keep up the good work!

    I enjoyed seeing your Disney photos. You weren't all so far from me. Yes, we've had lots of gray days this season. Glad you had fun anyway.
