Vintage Fabric Square Pillowcases And A Pink Bed

 I am finally finished sewing for Lily's room.

Hooray!

Bunny is very old. Lovingly handmade perhaps a hundred years ago and dressed in antique calico grain sack fabric.

 I have loads of vintage fabrics I have collected at various flea markets over the years and I'm on a mission to use my fabrics and finally enjoy them!

These pillowcases were so simple to make but I have misplaced the directions I wrote for how to make them.

Perhaps I'll write a tutorial when I find my little sketchbook....

I have a nice little sketch book to write all of my ideas in but somehow I am always losing it.

The quilt on lily's bed is an old piece I bought at a flea market in a small French town called Isle Sur La Sorgue. I bought it when she was one, thinking I might someday use it on her bed. I have always loved it and it's perfect on the old wood bed, which I recently painted a cheery pink.

It had been previously painted white with a "Shabby Chic" finish, but over the years it had become more shabby than chic, with marker drawings and all sorts of nonsense scribbled on it.

I was tempted to leave it as a memory, like the wall I have in my kitchen with all of the kids heights marked on it.

But the urge to paint something pink was stronger.
