a slip turned into a slip
I found a pretty antique petticoat a few months ago at an antique store and decided it would make a pretty pillow cover. I would turn a slip into a pillow slip! Two, actually. Since the ruffle was only on one side, I made it like a slip-on pillow case instead of a traditional decorative bolster cover. It worked out perfectly, since the ruffle hangs over the sofa and it’s tailored on the back side. It always pains me a little to cut up antique linens, but the detail on this piece was too pretty to not use. You can see a peek of the pillow form under the pillow case, but it’s white, so it’s not distracting. I might make a simple muslin cover for it at some point, but maybe not. I’ve even thought about putting blue and white ticking on the end that shows as a fun little detail.
