sewing pajamas creates pillowcases

The white elephant gift was a hint.  I was sitting with some co-workers asking if it would be bad form to pick my own gift.  One of them said yes since she wanted it.  That is what I get for blogging about it.  She stole it from someone else.  I stole a Bailey's Irish Cream gift set.  I will admit that I did it because I really liked the glasses in it.  I know I have seen some recipes for Bailey's Irish Cream in cakes so that may be where the liqueur goes.  Or over ice cream?  I am experimenting with frozen yogurt but I just do not see that.  Liqueur over yogurt in any form.  Nope.

This year, the extra fabric from pajama bottoms is going into pillowcases.  Our flannel ones look so bad and really are not soft anymore.  They have been washed too many times.  Also, when you live with a bladesmith, there is always a bit of dirt and dust everywhere, even when he has scrubbed well.  As one knife maker said, anything that is not knife is dirt.  Such a true statement.  

This is the first pillowcase from pajama fabric.  I will get two more out of the process and I am excited.
