Embellishing

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any plain fabric to go with the Sky Blue Paisley.  Instead I thought I'd look for a plain pillowcase that I could embellish.

 

I found some bed linen on offer in my local branch of John Lewis, and ended up leaving with an Oxford pillowcase (£2.50) and a single sheet (£5), in Salmon Pink.

 

Inspired by the paisley fabric, I decided to use the same design as an embellishment.



For some reason the pillowcase looks a dirty orange.

 

It was (very) awkward to sew because my applique design was rather close to the sides of pillowcase.  There was much scrunching and manoeuvring to be done, but I got there in the end.

 

 



I used a blanket stitch function on my sewing machine to give a neat edge, which won't fray.

 

Hopefully, I've tied the bedding together quite well.

 









Sometimes photos don't do your makes justice. It honestly looks far better in real life.

 

What should I make tomorrow??????
