...as you can see, I've been trying different crochet trims on my pillowcases... While I've come across many beautiful trim patterns in my collection of crochet books, a lot of them tend to be a little too labor-intensive for what I'm looking for; I've therefore simplified a few or used only a few rows of these longer, more intricate patterns. I'll be putting together a juicier post shortly showing you my pillowcases in more detail... (Hmmm... perhaps it's time for a pillowcase giveaway?!) I've just been rather busy lately with household fall chores like this one, my all-time favorite: putting away the kids' summer clothing and replacing it with their fall/winter wardrobe...Ugh! with four kids, this one seems to take forever! 'Talk to you soon...
gorgeous, all of them!

Hi Beata:
Very lovely. My personal favourite is the shell. Easy to remember, and charming to look at. I've done some on tea towels as well, have you?

Beautiful trims! I may try my hand at that - how do you attach them to the case? Yours looks so neat.
Posted by: Annette | October 20, 2009 at 08:49 AM
These are gorgeous. CAn you show us more?
Posted by: Marianne | October 20, 2009 at 09:11 AM
I have no idea how to crochet, so these are amazing to look at - can't imagine how you do it! They are all beautiful, but I especially like the pale pink window-y one.
Looking forward to the juicy post!

Very very nice :-)
Please let us see more and more and more

Do you mind if I ask what type of crochet thread/yarn are you using? It looks heavier than what I normally use for lace edgings, and I'm wondering if it's cotton dishcloth yarn.

my dear beata, your trims get lovelier every time you post. where do you buy your yarn from? i know what you mean about the winter/summer clothing changeover. always takes me halfway through the season to find and unpack and "freshen up" everything -- boxes and boxes of stuff for 3 kids!
Posted by: sisi | October 27, 2009 at 08:38 PM
These are lovely. Looking for patterns can be almost as much fun as crocheting itself!
Posted by: Mom Wald | October 31, 2009 at 06:41 AM
You are so creative, and I am such a flake! I'm back on track with the satin fabric...will mail you some samples.
Peace and Love,
Susan

Could you please post a tutorial about how to make a simple model. I`m really just getting started with these techniques and so I`m really in need of some tuorials.
Posted by: Pamela Clinton | November 30, 2010 at 05:54 AM
What kind of trim is the middle one? The purple one
Posted by: Wanda Conway | August 13, 2012 at 05:33 AM
I Love you pillow cases!!! Any chance that there's a tutorial on making them? What do you use for crochet yarn? Thank you, Ruth
Posted by: Ruth Marden | March 28, 2014 at 11:12 AM
Beautiful edge. I grew up in a very small Kansas town and there was a lady that had a hemstitch machine. My mom would take our hand embroidered pillowcases and she put the edge so we could crochet the lace. What do you do to make the edge to crochet?
