Sometimes, if something can be sewn easy, or complicated, I seem to chose the hard way to do it! Years ago I made some Valances for the two windows in one bedroom and the adjoining bathroom out of a pretty blue print polished cotton. After a couple of years I replaced them, but put the blue away in case I wanted the cloth for something else. I am a tightwad and I decided there was enough cloth for 2 King-size pillowcases for my bedroom. Except that I would need to sew seams down the length of the sides. Then I realized that I would also need to cut the bathroom Valance piece in half to add to the length of the King size pillowcases. But I didn't have time to finish these at one sitting, and it was 2 weeks before I got back to them and I forgot to add the extra length. Then I had to do some un-sewing and add the length. Long story is that they finally got finished up this evening. Yea! I am happy! I now have beautiful blue print pillowcases that match the blue ceramic tile in the adjoining bath! Barbara in SC
