Well you all know by now that I love crochet edge pillowcases.
I think my Daisy Cottage fabric is perfect for tons of crochet edge pillowcases...
so that's what I made!
Introducing...
"Crochet Edge Pillowcases"
Although I love the other method of sewing a buttonhole stitch with yarn around the pillowcase edge first...
it's a very time consuming process...
so I came up with my own simplified and
much faster version:)
I also designed a bit of Mr. and Mrs.
embroidery for the edges of
the gray solid pillowcases.
After all..what real cottage would be without Mr. and Mrs. pillowcases?
I love the look of the cotton crochet lace paired up with the embroidered scallops.
A nice comfy cottagey texture:)
I like it sew much that I made a pillowcase using every piece of fabric in my
Daisy Cottage line.
Each pillowcase only takes 1 yard of fabric and takes 1/2 hour to cut and sew...
and about 1 hour to crochet the edges.
I love them!!!
There are so many ways to pair up different combinations of fabric, yarn and lace.
I'm excited about this new pattern and it will be ready for release at the end of this week along with all of my others.
You can purchase it here.
Speaking of others...I have one more new pattern to show you.
Although the above picture has crochet edging...it's not a pillowcase.
What could it be?
If you know me at all...
I'll bet you guess it right away:)
That's right...an apron!
The "Daisy Apron"... to be exact.
With nice deep pockets...
and crochet scallop trim on the edge...
And a single row of crochet scallops across the bottom of the hem too.
Or maybe another without trim
on the pockets...
But with 2 rows of fluffy white rose trim along the bottom of the apron skirt.
The aprons have extra long ties for
tying a bow in the front.
And needs only 1 1/4 yards of fabric and are simple to make.
I have more aprons to show you because there are a few more variations...
but I am simply out of time for today!
Thank you for all of your wonderful comments about my Daisy Cottage fabric
and patterns...
I have had a blast reading them and
I love hearing from you.
You are who I design for!
The giveaway for the Daisy Cottage fat quarter bundles and new patterns will end at midnight (my time) tonight.
I will announce the winners on Tuesday:)

Adorable pillowcases and apron. Wonderful collection of fabric and patterns, Lori.
Wow, an edible apron! Oh Lori, I have forgotten how delightful a crocheted edge can look..never seen it look this good in fact. Splendid post it really cheered my day, thank-you.
jeg holder meget af at læse din side, du kreere så smukke ting:)
Sweet!
I love those pink & grey crocheted edges :D
the apron is incredible! I am amazed at the quantity and the quality of all the different things you have made- you must have been sewing non stop all summer long!
Everything is so pretty! Looks like I am going to have to learn how to crochet.
I love the crocheted edge pillowcases but I haven't tried any yet!
Oh My! What talent, what adorable colours. Irresistible fabrics. Love them all.
I really like the Mr. and Mrs. pillowcases and the pink ones as well. I'm not really an apron wearer, but I think I could be after seeing the gray version of the daisy apron. Everything looks good in Daisy Cottage.
I went away for the weekend and came back to 4 new patterns. Wow! how do you do it? i feel very lazy. love them all.
What a beautiful ideas Lori. Very feminine and pretty :)
Lovin' the crochet edging! The pillow cases are so cute and the aprons are charming! I love the long ties so that they can tie in the front. What amazing work you have done on this line!!!!!
Your idea to add lace first and then do the crochet work is such a help. It really does take a long time to crochet when one has to make holes first w/crochet hook. This tip will be one that I use. Thanks. Also love your new line and would be wonderful to win some. Thanks.
What lovely apron ^__^
Love those crocheted edges also very much! Great job!
Lori, You are incredible. Do you take some kind of wow vitamin? How do you find the energy to do allthat you do? Share your secret PLEASE! Love the adorable pillowcases. Can't wait to get my hands on the pattern.quiltexas@gmail.com
I am totally in love with the stripe! Yum, yum, yummy!
That's it! I have to learn to crochet :)
Oh, the pillowcases are so sweet. I just have to learn how to do that crochet trim. And the apron, beautiful. You are so creative.
I have crocheted pillowcases from ym gramma that I cherish.
I love making pillowcases...and these are dressed up so cute! I crochet also, so this will be a great accessory.
Love the old fashion feel of the crocheted edges! Can't wait for the patterns to come out

This pillowcases are really cute with the crochet edging. My favourite is the chandeliers on cream, gorgeous!
Congrats on your collection I'm sure it will be one of my "Must have".
I am so excited to learn your new technique for making the pillowcases. (yes, the old ones are still on my to-do list)
And of course we need to make aprons from Daisy Cottage!
Love the crocheted edges on the pillows and that adorable apron! I just wish I knew how to crochet. That might be something I bug my mother into teaching me at Thanksgiving, hopefully I can learn it in day or so. LOL
while I like the house pattern I absolutely LOVE the pillowcases and aprons! I just love this fabric and can't wait to try the crochet edging! You're really outdone yourself! :)

I adore the crochet edges!! And the apron is a MUST HAVE!!!
Thank you for sharing your amazing creations with us!
LOVE!!! The lamps, the chandeliers, the daisies.. *swoon* Man, I really want to win. haha
I love your approns, although I am not sure I would brave the crochet. I used to crochet a bit many many years ago but would be scared to ruine good fabric with my wonky attempts. Thank you so much for showing this.
You are such a smartie. I love the idea of using the cotton lace to crochet into. So so so smart. It is all lovely.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! The pillow cases are awesome and the aprons are to die for! I love aprons! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

You ended this month with a grand finale! I loooove the crochet edge pillowcases and the aprons were adorable!
You have done it now, I am going to have to watch the one of my very favorite movies, The Wizard of Oz, tonight after hearing Judy sing. Love everything you have shared. The aprons are to die for.
Beautiful pillowcases & apron. I don't know where you found the time to crochet the edges too.
Love those pillowcases with the crochet edges. My grandma gave each of her grandchildren a set or two of her hand crochet edged pillowcases for their hope chests and I treasured mine!! You've inspired me to make some more: hubby and I need some new ones!! And the apron is AMAZING!! I don't like wearing them, but I think I could break the rules and wear this one: great job!!!
I love all the fabric lines and creations that you make!!!! Can I move in next door and be your neighbor and drool over all your creations in person? :-D thanks for all the wonderful inspiration :-)
Love the trim on the pillowcases and apron. I am so impressed by your creativity!
Lori these are absolutely gorgeous! The colors of thread you used with the fabrics are perfect and I just love this look! Great idea using lace as the base for the crochet. I don't crochet, but my niece does, wonder if I can get her to make me some of these for CHristmas?
Fantastic Lori....I love the pillow cases and the aprons....Yeww...I can't wait for the release of all these great patterns....
The aprons are adorable...but I absolutely LOVE those pillowcases. ALL of them. You certainly were given a good dose of creativity when it was being handed out!!
Nothing short of brilliant!
These are jut lovely. I may have to learn to crochet.
These are the perfect addition to your cottage theme -- and -- look much easier than the regular way...but they are from you...so of course they are easy! I love them too -- and then the Mr./Mrs. are just the icing on the cake!
Adorable! You have the most creative mind ever. I love the pillowcases and the cute apron! I love everything you design.
Those pillowcases look so cosy and homey. The fabric looks so perfect with the crocheted edges. Even though I don't crochet (except for granny squares lol) I'm going to make some with purchased edging. Thanks for the idea! VermontPines@aol.com
Love the pillow cases !
I love crochet edge pillow cases too; and yours are fabulous. I do not know how to crochet, but I have a sewing friend that is going to teach me! I would love to win some of your fabric and then I could share some with her for helping me!
I LOVE pillow cases with ruffles and lace! It just seams more comforting. Those aprons are beautiful and the pockets are awesome :)
Pillowcases with crocheted edges. I have many of them that my grandmother made for me. She used pre-made pillowcases and then did her magic. I have treasured these pillowcases for years and you just brought back all my memories of my grandmother. Thanks so much for your wonderful blog and your passion for all things vintage!
gorgeous aprons, gorgeous fabrics..and of course gorgeous crochet...a girl after my own heart...
The apron and pillowcases are so fab! Oh, how I wish I'd learned to crochet because now, more than ever, I would LOVE some of these pillowcases. These pillowcases PRECISELY! I'll dream of them tonight. I wish I was dreaming ON them instead, of course.
