Fabric Friday
I bought these pillow cases for 50c each. I really want to use them as pillow cases, but I probably won’t. I’d like to sew an apron for Elora and a little skirt for Georgia (or myself). I’ve also thought of sewing strips together to make a pretty scarf, possibly backing it with some suiting […]
