A bit of Great Grandmother Emilie

I was doing laundry last night and saw that a pillowcase embroidered by my great grandmother was falling apart in spots. Already, the pale green on the left (stage right) half of the pillowcase had disappeared. I almost cast it into my growing mending pile, but then...

 

Well, THIS is what happened. I felt inspired by my crafty, busy, loving great-gran while wearing this today. My kerchief became a babushka, and my girls became my puutchkins.

 

Pattern was adapted from the Smashing Smock pattern in Anna Maria Horner's Seams to Me book.
