Is there anything as relaxing as sewing?
Especially sewing with friends?
Yikes - because I turned the fabric - so that the zebras would be running and playing horizontally across the pillow I was just a little bit short - like three inches. So silly - but there is no way I could possibly sleep with zebras running the wrong way across my pillow!
However, what did I have in my stash? The perfect fabric purchased years ago. YAY!!
I wanted to make it envelope style so that no dirt would get on my pillow. And sometimes you can throw something inside - like a journal.
And here is my completed pillowcase.
And I did have someone ask - why I didn't use Chinese fabric - since that's where I'm going. It's because I saw this fabric and fell in love with it. Hahaha
Now let's see what everyone else is up to.

Love those zebras! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think there is anything quite relaxing as sewing, and even better stitching with friends. Love the zebra fabric, sweet pillowcase. I am sure when you get to China you will buy oodles of pretty Chinese fabric.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your Zebra pillowslip....
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going China 🇨🇳
Love the Zebra pillow--cute and like you I have to have 'things' going in the right direction --which can create a big problem sometimes!!!
ReplyDeleteenjoy the moments, di
I love the stripey panel on your pillow case - works really well. xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely pillowcase - and the additional panel looks fantastic with the zebras x
ReplyDeleteI certainly wouldn't be able to sleep with Zebras running the wrong direction! I think you came up with the perfect solution. Sweet dreams.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow turned out delightful! I always think that a bit of a problem turns into more creativity, and that is just what happened, the added fabric adds the perfect touch to your pillow! I like the pillowcases that tuck in as well. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, you fixed it perfectly, my dear!
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented.
Thanks so much for visiting me today, and for your sweet comment. : - )
Oh, how pretty! I am so impressed! Sewing has never been my thing, so I am just enthralled with seeing what other people can do! May the Lord bless you! It was so nice to "meet" you and see that you had visited my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteLove love love, that fabric is so perfect - well done girl!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I too like the zebras running horizontally down the pillow. Your fabric fits perfectly. Did I miss your telling about your upcoming trip to China?
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling pillow! And yes, it is very important that the zebra are running the right way...lol!
ReplyDeleteI adore the happy fabric your selected. In catching up with your other posts I so admired your scallopped edge quilt. Happy Harvest!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I know just what you mean about the zebras needing to run across the pillow instead of down toward my back or up toward the wall. Me too! I really like the striped fabric you chose to go with the zebras. The two compliment and complement each other, I think. Zebras and stripes always go together!
ReplyDeleteyes, one should control the running around of zebras on one's pillow. It's hard enough to sleep as it is! I actually like that accent stripe better than a plain pillow too. Yea!
ReplyDeleteI like your pillowcase... the zebra are so great. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day the Nähbegeisterte
