Made something a week ago that I wanted to show you. I haven't been making a lot of things in regular granny squares, but I'm really in love eith them now. Thought I needed some colout in my new white sofa, so this is the result.
Since I like both sides equally, it doesn't really have a front and a back. It simply has two sides. :)
I have found it hard to close a pillow case neatly and still be able to take it off for a wash every now and then. So I tried something new this time, that worked perfectly. I joined the two sides with join-as-you-go technique (I hate sewing things together!) and saved an opening on one side. I then tied a piece of yarn in each end of the opening, twisted the strands and an knot in the end. Then I weaved the yarn through the holes in the ends until they met in the middlle.
Tied a knot, but I didn't want to leave them hanging on the outside like this.
So i grabbed my hook and pulled the strands inside the pillow case. Perfect!
Do you have the perfect way to close a pillow case, without buttons? Feel free to share!
