Best friends, fabric printing and pillowcases

Awhile ago Mandy came home from school with a fabulous drawing of herself and her best friend. Not long after that, while we were away on holidays the best friend had a birthday. At the time I was a little stumped on what to give her so dutifully wished her a happy birthday on our return while ignoring the gift giving bit.

Then not long after that I was having a chat to my friend Michelle and the penny dropped.

Lucas and I spent a lovely afternoon at the 'the studio' watching Flo at work, then a quick spot of sewing at home and the end result was two identical pillowcases. One for my little artist and one for the birthday girl.

Thanks again Mich for the lovely day.

** Yes I know this was made some time ago but this has truly been the first opportunity I have had to photograph it as it has been on high rotation since being made as has its twin. Also I do believe this is the first time I have ever ironed a pillowcase!
