Repurposed Vintage Pillowcases

 

Hello my friends,

I stopped my favorite thrift shop this week

and found a small bag of embroidered scraps for .50 -

I intended to make more Junk Journal covers.

After I got home I realized someone had cut off the embroidered section

of a few pillowcases.

I washed and ironed the pieces.

I had a few vintage wood hangers on hand.

I was able to match up the pieces.

Each hanger was completely different,

 so I made a pattern for each one.

I traced the curve, marked the pattern

 and the hanger with the same number.

Pinned and stitched right sides together.

Leaving a 1/8'' opening at the top to pull the hanger through.

The width of the pillowcase fit the hanger perfect.

I had hardly any trimming to do-

If you want to hang items with thin straps,

you can sew a couple of buttons to the top seam on the hanger.

Pretty in the guest closet.

They fit nice and snug over the hanger !

That was the easiest project ever!

Thank you for visiting :)
