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

MarieAnn

Welcome back friends! The weekend is over and I take profit from the last hours to prepare my posts for this week. Friday I registered myself to the St Valentin' s Fair , 9th and 10th of February, in my city Pitesti, so I started to organise my projects for the lovers.

Bine ati revenit prieteni! Weekendul aproape a trecut asa ca incerca sa profit de ultimele ore ramase pentru a pregati postarile pentru saptamana care urmeaza. Vineri m-am inregistrat la Targul de Sf. Valentin, din 9 si 10 februarie din orasul meu Pitesti, asa ca am inceput sa organizez proiectele mele pentru indragostiti.

Mean time I want to present you my newest doll... MarieAnn !!

Intre timp vreau sa ve prezint cea mai recenta papusa a mea... MarieAnn !!

MarieAnn is a sweet and elegant doll that I created for my own pleasure, after my own pattern. I worked almost one and a half days to create it and I'm very glad to show you today.

MarieAnn este o papusa dulce si eleganta pe care am creat-o pentru propria placere, si in baza propriilor schite. Am lucrat la ea aproape o zi si jumatate si sunt foarte incantata sa v-o arat astazi.

  

She is 35 cm tall, has brown hair and black eyes. The fancy large flared dress has a tulle lining and the colours claim summer freshness. Her long hair is embellished by a cutie hat made of red dots fabric like the dress and tulle.

Are 35 de cm inaltime, par castaniu si ochi negri.  Rochia draguta, este croita in clos mare cu dublura din tulle ,iar culorile reclama prospetimea verii. Parul sau lung este pus in valoare de o palariuta realizata din panza cu buline rosi precum rochia si din tulle.

  

Surelly you've noticed the red&white heart pillow beside MarieAnn. Is one of the St. Valentine's projects I made. You can find it on my shop like my doll too.

Sigur ati observat pernita alb si rosu in forma de inima ,de langa MarieAnn. Este unul dintre proiectele pe care le-am pregatit pentru Sf Valentin. O puteti gasi in magazinul meu, precum si papusa.

So, tell me ! Do you like MarieAnn?

Ce ziceti ? Va place MarieAnn?

Hugs, Cristina
