This entry is for Cop Car, who shares a love of fabric with me. I’m sorry the picture lacks definition CC, because these are beautiful Batiks! The larger part of the case is made of a green fern print on a dark royal blue, and the “cuff” uses the same colors in a cross-hatch design. The quarter inch folded fabric between the two is a very pale green striped Batik.
They’d make beautiful gifts. I’m seriously considering making some for my family.
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
Thank you, thank you, Buffy. The case is gorgeous–even lacking the eye-popping definition that you seek. And, as you had previously written, they look easy to make. Definitely a keeper of an idea!
Thanks, CC! It’s even better in person. I washed out the colors a bit with the flash. I’d think you could whip these up in no time if you needed a gift. My-Sister-The-Nurse has her bedroom done in deeper blues, and Nan has a Tuscan look going throughout the house. It would be a joy to shop for materials for cases for them!
I found a pattern on-line. If you need a website address, let me know.
now those are beautiful colours buffy, i particularly like the blue with the fern.
Ummmm…inept I may be, Buffy; but, the cases seem like simplicity itself. I cannot imagine requiring a pattern. We shall see if you get the last laugh! *smile* BTW: Every time I see the word “Batik”, I think of you–such as the other day when the word was used about a painting, or some such (who recalls?)
Bod, I’ve been pushing my house more toward green with highlights from the rose family, but when I saw this fabric, I had to have it! My bedroom has a lot of green in it, and I haven’t introduced the rose accents yet, so this fabric works with what’s there. The pillowcases are very crisp to the touch; they have a lot of threads to the inch.
Cop Car, they are simple, but it was nice to have suggestions for the length and width. I know, I could have just measured the pillows or other pillowcases, but the pattern gave me the depth of the cuff.
When *I* hear the word Batik, I now think of it capitolized, thanks to you! *G*
