Oh, I am a pillowcase NUT. I’ve had two articles published in ReadyMade magazine – the first on how to make a skirt or apron out of a pillowcase in issue 2 or 3 (and I’m photographed in it – back when I had super-short hair) and the second on how to make an emergency guest kit out of pillowcases. I use them as fabric sources for a quilt I’m working on because they’re so cheap at op shops and come in such interesting patterns. And the ones that don’t get crafted form a mismatched lovely family on my bed! But I could never give them up in a swap – they are far too good.
Hi Pip,
Thanks for the comment on the little lady badges! I do prefer the little cards and have been doing them for a little while now, but for some reason both times I came in to see you guys I didn’t have them, which is a shame.
The shop is looking great, I love all the fabric and buttons!
can that be equivalent 5 pillowcases? e.g. 10 half pillowcases (not that I have enough for either) ?
i am in anyhow. just have to visit more op shops by then.
sign me up, sister, sign. me. up!
