Hello. My name is Alexandra, and I’m a Pinterest-aholic.

Yes, My Pinterest addiction is once more responsible for an afternoon’s creative project. This time, it was this gorgeous image:

This is the Pinterest link and it came from Scrum Dilly Dilly‘s blog – I couldn’t actually find the original post, but intend to spend some time reading her blog, because it looks pretty cool.

I love just about everything in this picture, but I particularly liked the mis-matched floral pillowcases. I am a hopeless fabric collector, I just can’t pass up a gorgeous fabric, especially a floral one, so I’m always looking for something new to do with them.

Warning- I am really crap at sewing, mostly because I’m too impatient to do it properly. I just “spong” it together as my Grandad would’ve said! At least pillowcases are really simple, and not easy to screw up! 

  
I made some from a single fabric, but this was also a great opportunity to use up some bits of fabric that were too big for patchwork scraps, but too small to make anything much. The perfect size for two-tone pillowcases!

Merlin and Frodo don’t seem overly impressed by them, but I’m stoked- they give me that happy buzz inside 😀
