What you can do with a vintage pillowcase

When you have an unmatched pillowcase, a bit old, but in bright, beautiful colours, what you can do with it? ..A bread basket, of course !

Well, I don't have the before picture, because once the idea hit me, I didn't thought of anything else. But I do have a "during" picture..,so you can sord of understand how the pillowcase it was....

Atunci cand ai o fata de perna desperecheata, putin cam veche , dar in culori frumoase, ce poti face cu ea? Un cos de paine, desigur !

Ei bine, nu am o fotografie cu "inainte de", pentru ca atunci cand m-a lovit ideea, nu m-am mai gandit la nimic altceva. dar o fotografie cu "in timp ce".., asa ca va cam puteti da seama cum arata fata de perna...

It had coloured stripes on the main side and a red-brick colour on the other side. All I had to do it was to open the 4 sides of the pillow case, add the yellow heart with green thread, and to create the basket...

(Here you can see my sewing corner...It's not a big space, but I cand handle it... And behind my Christmas Elf, is my grandmother portrait...It's a long story that I will tell you another time) 

Avea dungi colorate pe fata principala si o culoarea caramizie pe cealalta parte. Tot ceea ce a trebuit sa fac a fost sa deschid toate cele 4 laturi, sa adaug inima galbena tivita cu ata verde, si sa creez cosul...

(Aici puteti vedea si coltul meu de cusut...Nu este un spatiu mare, dar ma descurc...Iar in spatele spiridusului de Craciun, este portretul bunicii mele ...Este o poveste lunga pe care o voi spune altadata)

So here it is my bread basket / pillow case...

Si iata cosul meu de paine / fata de perna...

Hugs, Cristina
