hopefully something rhetorical

Well, my Saturday plans for sewing didn’t quite work out as I had hoped, but I was able to get something done today.  In August when I was back on the East coast, I had a chance to meet up with my good friend Bonnie and her little girl.  Their family recently bought a new house, and they were doing up Paige’s new room, so we went to the Pottery Barn Kids outlet.  What an awesome store!  She found the comforter she liked, but they didn’t have a sham that matched.  So, we wandered through all the linens and found a crib sheet in the same material.

I told Bonnie to just get the crib sheet, and I would make a sham for her.  And, I did! I think it came out pretty cute, and it was only $9 for the crib sheet.

I had the pokka dot fabric in my stash, and I decided to also make a pillowcase to match.  I was particularly impressed with myself about the detailing.  Just gives the whole thing a little more visual interest.

I thought they both turned out pretty cute, and it got me thinking about how I might be able to make sheets for our bed.  We have a wonderful mattress, but it is ridiculously tall/deep (24 inches).  Trying to find sheets is almost impossible and very expensive, but since we really only use a fitted sheet, I think I might be able to give it a shot.  Next time we are near a Home Goods, I am going to look for a cute King flat sheet to see if I can modify it.  If I do, trust that I will share all the gory details here!
