Sylviee's re-fashioned vintage inspired pillow cases.

Just stopping by to update you on my latest re-fashion project! I was given this fabric kindly from my boyfriend mum and knew I would make proper use of it! I'm trying to make my bed area as girly and vintage inspired as possible, and I think these new pillowcases fit nice and snug in with my bedroom(:


I measured both white and floral fabric against a regular pillowcase I had and cut the sizes out leaving about 1-2cm's of space to sew. Next I pinned the fabric back to back (so the floral print was on the inside) and used a straight stitch on my sewing machine to stitch up the sides leaving an open space to pop the pillows in! I hemmed the edges after ward and turned it inside-out and viola!

You can come see my full post here (:
Happy Monday! XOXO
