I was recently commissioned to make a set of pillowcases using vintage fabrics.
There were not to be just any ordinary pillowcases.
Pillowcases with a gusset and piping on the top and bottom.
Pillowcases with a patchwork top and bottom.
Pillowcases with zippers on one end.
It was a good thing I had helpers.
These pillowcases were a lot of work, measuring, cutting around the stains to have enough pieces to fit back together, sewing together different blends of fabrics, and assembling to satisfy the customer’s request.
I have been doing a lot of pretty easy sewing these days, so I loved the challenge of figuring out how to make these based on the specifications, and learning to work with vintage fabrics for the first time.

You did a beautiful job with these! Your helpers seem to approve:)
These are really lovely! I hope you made notes so you can do it twice as fast the next time. 🙂 Love the first cat photo. What a cutie!
Cats helping the fabric from running away. So kind of them!
wow!! Terri love those and you did such a fantastic job. You should consider putting some up on your Etsy shop.
