No, not that kind of pillow talk! I’m talking, little pillow talk. Literally.
A few years ago, I whipped up a few miniature pillowcase prototypes. I had done the calculating to sew them to scale and used some not-so-pretty fabric for my trial run. And then, I packed up my ugly little creations and put them away.
During yesterday’s slushy snowfall, those little pillowcases came to the surface of my thoughts, and I was motivated to make them again. Only this time, I wanted to make pretty ones.

Their finished size measures 4.75″ x 7″, a “mini me” version of a standard size pillowcase. Aren’t they sweet? They’re sweet smelling too! There’s a little surprise hidden inside each pillowcase – a little lavender pillow sachet, the lavender harvested last season from two plants I have growing in my garden, and which yielded me about four cups of dried buds.

Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret – there’s another surprise hidden inside…..
