Finished Pillow

Here it is all stuffed and ready to put in a gift bag for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  I found a pillowform in my closet and it fit perfectly.  I think I may make a few more of these.  Just need to go through my stash and see what colors I have.  Fun project.

Vintage Linen Pillowcover Completed

Just completed the pillowcover.  I'm quite pleased with the results.  I decided to add some of the lace from the vintage tablecloth around the edges of the pillow.  Hardest part was removing the lace without cutting the edge of the lace.  The lace had been attached to the tablecloth with very small handstitching.  Now to purchase a pillowform for the cover and the birthday gift is complete.

I'm so pleased that I completed the entire project by using items in my studio.  That's one of my goals this year.  So far I'm having fun using my stash.  I organized my studio over the weekend but now you can hardly tell it with projects going on!

Vintage Linen Pillowcover Part 2

Here if the final pillowcover top.  You will see that I added the edges cut from the smaller dresser scarf but otherwise I followed my original placement.  I used a tight zigzag along all cut crochet edges.  I'm hoping this will prevent stitches from pulling out.  The top of the doily was attached by hand.  All other stitches were done on my Bernina 165.  Now it's time to add back fabric.  I'll post finished pillowcover later.  Thanks for following my progress.
