This week everything got put aside so I could make three new quilt covers and pillow cases for our new grandson. I've not done any home making or dress making for years so it was a good test for me to see what I could remember and dust off some cobwebs.
Daughter-in-law was well chuffed with the results, and I must say I surprised myself and was quite pleased with them too. Above is just one of the sets I made, and below the pillow to another.
Unfortunately the patterned fabric was just a tad too small in width so I had to be creative and make a border all the way around on this one. The other pillow case fabrics were just short on the length and were fixed with a contrasting piece of fabric at the end.
They're not perfect by any means, but as long as they wrap the wee one in love and comfort - that's all that matters.
Brilliant! There are some great fabrics available these days. Well done.
