After the quilted pillowcases I blogged about here I went for a change of pace and made some simple pillowcases with some pretty fabrics I had to hand and set about adding some embellishments:
The first has this beautiful purple floral fabric on the front with a coordinating lilac tone on tone print on the back, it is finished with a green scalloped edge which highlights the green in the print.
I enjoyed the change of pace, sitting and relaxing with a crochet hook.
The second has a simple blue and green floral on the front with a tone on tone green for the backing. This is finished with a matching blue scallop.
I haven't picked up a crochet hook for a while and trying to remember some patterns for the crochet border to make each different was the most taxing part of this project!
Finally a beautiful blue with orange and pink flowers with a coordinating orange baking and a simple cream wave for the crochet.
All of the fabrics have small simple prints, are reversible and will add a pop of colour to any bed.
All materials used - fabric, thread and crochet yarn are 100% cotton.
I can't wait to see some of these being used!

These are great - they remind me of pillowcases that I grew up with. Am I dating myself? :)
