...Well, it's really only one new pillowcase made with a very scrumptious Denyse Schmidt floral print; I was immediately smitten by this print when it first came out, and I eventually caved in and bought it because I just couldn't be without it! (I say "caved in" because I paid more for it than I usually pay for fabric and, while I'm on the subject of the cost of cotton fabric, have you not noticed how it's become more expensive in the last little while?!) I also bought it in a slightly different colour stream, but I still have to find the right colour of yarn to trim it with...
I have a couple more pillowcases in my "violet-blue series" that I have yet to trim, but I think I'll leave these for later because I am so ready for a pillowcase giveaway and I hope you are as well, dear readers! So, I'm inviting you to pop by early next week because I'll have it set up by then... In the meantime, have yourself a great weekend and thanks so much for your visits and your lovely comments!
It's another beauty! It would couple up nicely with the second blue one below it. Yes, I have noticed the ever increasing prices of cloth! When my girls were little (teenagers now) I could make their dresses etc. cheaper than buying them, now...no way! The prices went up drastically several years back during a cotton shortage and never came down, and the better quality cloth (tighter weaves) are harder to find. Sorry for the rant.lol Hope your weekend is lovely. :)

Yes the cost of cotton fabric has most cetainly gone up over the last year or so and when you're making things like pillowcases you really feel it. I can see why you splurged on this print, it's quite different and most certainly makes a statement. The giveaway sounds fab, back next week to learn a little more. Enjoy your weekend xoxo
