I'm a pillow lover. So when I saw this pillow at an Estate Sale I snapped it up without a second thought. I knew right away that this was going to be a "keeper". I wouldn't be selling THIS at one of our sales. It's the natural simplicity of it that I love.
The pillow case was handmade of soft cotton ticking with vintage buttons of different natural shades. How sweet is this?
Here's a closer look at the cute buttons.
I love this pillow case so much that I'm going to make some of these pillow cases myself! Maybe using red ticking with red buttons, or maybe with blue buttons. Or yellow ticking with assorted white buttons. I'm imagining the possibilities now!
But first a new sewing machine is needed . My sewing machine is about as old as the one below.
I'm kind of a jack of all trades and you know what that means...a master of none! I dabble in way too many things. Over the years I've "dabbled" with the following: painting, knitting, crocheting, scherenschnitte, macrame ( back in the 70's ), sewing, pen and ink drawings, writing, card making, furniture refinishing, calligraphy, photography, just to name a few...
I guess there are even a thousand different ways to express your creativity. I just can't make up my mind which one to "master". So for now I'll just add "pillow case making" to my dabbler list.
