What can I do with Old pillowcases?
+4
Found some old pillowcases that were my great-grandmother's with pretty embroidery designs. Cases are too tattered to use but does anyone have any ideas what I could do with the embroidery designs if I cut them out? What could I make?

I would cut the embroidery portions out and sew onto something else, like a tablecloth, make a throw pillow medallion, or frame them. Anything you can do to preserve your family heirlooms for future generations will be appreciated.

My mom and I put some very delicate, old hand embroidered hankies under glass in a tray. There are ways to transform picture frames into trays and then you can capture the embroidery behind the glass.

I used parts of an embroidered tea towel set made by an aunt (were just too pretty to actually use) to make a dresser scarf. Ran a strip of fabric between each square and then framed with a coordinated strip. Gave it to her granddaughter for her first home.
