I picked up this pillow case at my local thrift store for 25 cents.
Not being a big fan of Minnie Mouse, but loving the polka dots....
I trimmed off the ruffle and added some solid pink from my stash.
I used the french seam tutorial posted by Jojo. Thanks, Jojo. It worked perfectly.
Isn't that much better? My daughter loves it. (So do I.)
The quilt in the background was made for my girl by the ever-so-sweet Linda.
My friend Taia packaged up a bucket of scraps and sent them over to me...what a great surprise that was! My kids are jealous of the great mail that I get. (Isn't that the way it should be?) There are some really fun fabrics in here and I can't wait to dig in and start making something new out of them. Oh, how I LOVE fabric scraps. Thanks Taia!
And little Spot came to live at our house.
He was a birthday gift for Zach from Linda.
(See, my kids get great mail, too!)
He is the sweetest little puppy ever.
We love him.
Thanks Linda.
Have a good Monday!

Great pillow case redo! And I may have to check out the French seam tutorial. My mother's suggesting I use one on my shower curtain. If both of you mention it, it must be worth checking into!

Glad the tutorial worked for you. You and I are on same wavelength. I made pillowcase cuffs last week!
The pillowcase is much, much cuter now!
