Housewife Pillowcases

Well I am back where I am supposed to be, at least for now. My sewing machine and serger are unpacked and set up. Now I can get down to the business of sewing again. I have so many ideas and things I should do that I am not sure where to begin.
The first thing I did (because I didn't know what to do first) was to make some housewife pillowcases. I gave them a vintage look with some embroidery and eyelet lace. I like the housewife pillowcase because it has a pocket that the pillow slips into and so the pillow can't escape. I think I will do more of these for Christmas gifts or just to have on hand. These pillowcases also look real nice monogrammed.
