I have finally finished this pillow case I've been working on for actual years. I used the Sublime Stitching Lucha Libre  patterns to make it. Even though the colours are kind of weird together I really love it! Because being normal is boring. Click for the deets: Pretty neat job I think! I love the super tiny stitching on the words, like little tiny fairy lights, aww! I don't know why the only things I ever make are pillowcases and pyjamas seeing as I never sleep! Boom!

My friend Sally just landed herself her dream job as a librarian! Then it was her 25th birthday and next month she's moving home, so I decided to try and make her a combined gift for all of the awesome things that are about to happen to her! This is what I came up with - embroidered pillowcases! Had I had as much time as I would have liked I probably would have added a few more books on. Anyway, I love how they turned out. I used the Sublime Stitching Sexy Librarians sheet. Sally used to have pink and green hair until she got a 'real' job so I thought it would be a nice touch for these little ladies to have the same! Details, details, details: And that's about all I have to say about that!
