The Crocheted Pillow Case

After a month of following along with You Go Girl's Crochet a Long I have finally made my first ever pillowcase and put a pretty crocheted edging on to make it a look a little posh.

Pillowcase done


And finally the pretty edge.



And Here is some of what the other clever "On the Edge" peeps created. Now that i've done the first one, there will be a few more of these made I think. They just look so pretty.

Pillow case... check

Following along with You Go Girl's Crochet Pillowcase Create a long, today I completed the second task - making a pillow case.

My first choice of fabrics didn't work out because I somehow misread the instructions and didn't get enough fabric... Oops.

But I do enjoy a challenge and decided to change direction by making a matching pillowcase for meeka's xmas quilt. Mostly because I had plenty of that gorgeous Wendy Slotbloom fabric left over.

And here it is...




The front - with appliqued flower



The Back - I wanted it to be just as pretty as the front.

All ready to go now for week 3 - crocheting an edge on... I'm sure this will be my favourite part :)

Reday to create a long with You Go Girl.

loving these colours right now.

playing along

Wow, okay... trying to contain myself... but just SO excited... squealing with delight and jumping up and down excited.

You Go Girl is holding a 4 week tutorial on how to make pillowcases with pretty crochet edging.

Hers look so gorgeous, i'm hoping i can make an eqaully gorgeous/funky boys style too.

Again the twin boy/girl thing kicking in... everything has to be equal and fair so neither feels less/more spoilt than the other. Mind you, i may need therapy for this, but for now i'm going with it! lol

This is SO fun... i'm off to get my supplies ready for next week. I Hope you have a lovely day today too x

PS It's not too late to join in the fun if you want to.
