How Do You Sew Crafts With Vintage Pillowcases?
Embroidery takes some time to do, but you can sew craft items with pillow cases that are already embroidered. The hard work is already done, and with a little sewing, you can make finished crafts products to be proud of. Vintage pillow cases can be put to good use, even if there is only one, or if part of the pillow case is damaged. You can recycle the embroidery into another useful product. Make a laundry bag for a girl by adding a seam at the top about an inch above the existing seam to form a casing. Cut a slit at the side seam on the outside. Use cording for strings. Make a doll dress for a large doll by using the embroidered edge as the bottom hem. Cut the pillow case about half to three-fourths of the way down (depending on the size of the doll) and use the closed end to make a round double yoke for the dress. Sew the two yoke pieces together and turn. Gather the embroidered half onto the yoke. The hem and design are already in place. You can make a dress for a larger or smaller
