Crochet trim pillowcase

 I am SOOO close to finishing my hexagon crochet blanket. All I have to do is sew in the last half-hexies, then I'll be onto the edge! So naturally, with the end in sight I had to do another project instead.
I've got several vintage flowery pillowcases that I've thrifted with the idea of adding a crochet trim (in the style of Rosehip) - in fact I made a pair last year. It's a great quick project that you can finish in an afternoon and feel accomplished!

 Remember my lavender - here is one of my sweet dreams bags. Just a simple little organza bag filled with dried lavender. One day I'll make a little trim for it too!

 The scallop trim is the easiest and arguably the prettiest.

Hydrangea, scabiosa, lambs ears and polemonium seed heads. A pretty little late summer posy.

  1. Nice pillowcase and trim, Ruth. Also I like your wonderful tea cup and white vase ---they both go well to a pillowcase!

  2. Hi Ruth,
    What a lovely little late summer posy you made. I can't wait to be able to pick some flowers from my garden again.
