Tonight was my friend Alicia's bridal shower. I wanted to make her gift--something Red Sox-y. She's crazy about the Red Sox (she's the female version of Jimmy Fallon in "Fever Pitch"). I went to the fabric store and all they had was Red Sox fleece fabric. I asked about cotton fabric and was told that nobody sells the Red Sox licensed fabric anymore because someone stole the trademark and so they don't make the fabric anymore. I had an idea of what I wanted to make for her but I couldn't wrap my head around fleece placemats. Bummer...
Then I remembered my pillow cases. Years ago my sewing cousin Julie sent me a pillow for my birthday. And 14 pillow cases. Let's see if I can remember them: birthday, Christmas, Halloween, flowers, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween,...well, you get the idea. AND, there is a RED SOX pillowcase!
Sorry Jules, but I cut up the Red Sox pillow case and made two placemats. They turned out pretty cool, if I say SEW myself.
