mustard and brown pillowcases

My Beloved and i went and bought a piece of mustard linen/rayon this weekend.  It was for me to make a dress for myself.  I had only been thinking about this piece of linen since we had looked at it the last time we were at the fabric store so I thought it was meant to be.  i cut out the dress and had enough to make pillowcases.  I have dearly loved the brown linen pillowcases I had made earlier in the year so I new what I was going to do with the extra!  At the same time I cut out the mustard linen, I also cut out a dress in brown linen that I had bought awhile back but had not gotten too yet.  I decided that it would make a lovely edge on the pillowcase.

And that it did!  My Beloved really liked these (but not as good as the banana pancakes (evil grin)).  He likes the spoil of linen pillowcases as well.  At some point, I am going to have to make linen sheets.  I am dreaming of more linen dresses so I think I will have to make sure there is enough yardage for pillowcases (if not sheets) as well.
