Crinoline lady pillowcase

I received a couple of messages from a reader, Phyllis who said she was looking for crinoline ladies. Now I'll warn you I am usually pretty pokey about responding to such requests, it's not that I don't want to - it's just finding the time! :) But I just happened to have crinoline ladies on the brain so trotted out to my garage to see what I could find...

I found this cute girl as part of a large pillowcase pattern below - my sheet was very fragile and I got a couple of small tears while scanning - but not in vain as I am finally sharing her with you guys! :)



I also flipped over the envelope and got quite a kick out of the verbose directions, which I thought I'd share with you guys as well:

Sassy little señorita

I think what I love most about this pattern is the peculiar, cute way this señorita is curling her toes. :) Another one from my vintage vault for you!

Sweet deer

Here's another one from the archives - I've been cleaning up some transfers that were unavailable in my stream for awhile, and I'll be posting them bit by bit up here. I also added a bit of navigation at the top and along the sides - hopefully that'll help you comb through my patterns...

Same Old Grind

Here's a cutie from the archives! Phew! It is tough work being enough of a multi-tasker to remember to post in 3 places. I'm brainstorming some ideas for managing that, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy this pooch! :)

Sweet stove

Hey guys! Here I am again with another little goodie from my collection. Sweetness, no? Enjoy! :)

Roses or poppies

Roses or poppies, depending on how you look at 'em. I think these would make a pretty pillowcase set with last week's lillies... Enjoy! :)

Lilies for you

Yes, your eyes don't fool you - it's an actual post! From me! On this blog! :) I've been thinking through the aims of this particular blog a lot, and I'm debating which direction to take it. I've been so busy on Feeling Stitchy and my personal blog, that I haven't dedicated much time here.

While I decide, I'll be re-arranging this site a bit to make the actual patterns easier to find. Hope you enjoy this one! These lovely calla lilies always make me think of Frida Kahlo - they'd be gorgeous on a set of pillowcases, don't you think? :)
