Link Party No. 53!


One day, I was at a thrift store before I had to pick up my kids from school. I scored BIG time on some beautiful vintage pillowcases... not only are they in such good condition, they were only $ 1 a piece! Yea!

I have been collecting vintage pillowcases for a couple of years now with the intention of making something beautiful. The reason why I haven't made anything yet is the thought of cutting them up is hard for me. What if I mess up, it's not like you can just go to a store and buy the exact same one. Well, I guess that is the beauty of vintage items. I have several ideas what I want to do with them; I might actually make something this summer.

Here are a couple of my favorites...



Aren't they gorgeous? I am having fun thinking about the potential projects... should I make a dress, a pair of pants? Bags... it's so hard to decide!
What would you do if you had pillowcases like these? Hopefully I will be able to share the pictures of the finished projects someday. :)

Ok friends, go ahead and link up!

1. Please post something YOU made. It doesn't matter if it is crochet, quilt, clothing, anything would be fine. I want to see it! If you use someone's idea or patterns please give them the rightful credit.

2. Link to your specific post, that way it is easier for everybody to find and read it.

3. Please grab the "Tea Rose Home" grab button, and link back from your post. If you can mention the party in your post or place the button on your side bar, that would be great! I want more people to have a chance to come and show off their creation.
