Make Do And Mend


Remember the ripped lace edged cover I bought?

Well I decided to use the crinoline lady tea cosy I bought last year for 50p and embroidered it into the centre of the cover, edged the whole thing with pretty gingham ribbon and sewed it onto a pillowcase.

Looks a little better now?

Below is the cover before I started.




Again how it looks now... Sometimes I do make things with my finds you know :-)
