A Little Giveaway Going On...

For those of you are smitten with vintage linens...The Vintage Sheet Blog is your place!!! Jen has done a fabulous job at connecting all of us who love to collect, reuse, and create with vintage bed linens. She is celebrating the one year anniversary of the blog with a whole month of giveaways. It is nearly over but there are a few of us still featuring different giveaways.

I have the privelege of hosting two giveaways. The first is a stack of 9 fat quarters cut from vintage linens.

The second is for a crayon roll, made with vintage linens and stocked with brand new crayons.You can head over to The Vintage Sheet Blog to get in on the last of the giveaways.

I Gave it A Try.....I Love This Simple Design!!!

Hey girls! I know many of you have been a buzz over at the Vintage Sheet Blog this past week. Isn't it fabulous! Well, right away I was super excited about the 10 minute tutorial on pillowcase aprons! They make the perfect little vendor aprons!

Here is the link to the tutorial.

Well this afternoon, I finally took a half an hour to finish some from the pillowcases I had pulled out after reading this post. I did two cottage style from beautifully embroidered pillowcases and one retro flower power style! I used vintage linens for the tie as well. I also left the pllowcase open for extra pockets.





This one is my favorite! I love the orange in it. I made the tie with a simple 6 inch wide strip and simply folded it and ironed it like binding. I slipped the top edge of the pillowcase into the binding and top stitched it.






Here is the other embroidered case. It was fun to find just the right fabric to match the design. Sweet and delicate.





And for the hippie at heart. Here is a wild flower power print. I actually added a border to the top of the pocket because there were flaws that needed to be covered up. Love the quick fixes.
