You know how fascinated I am by all-bed-linens...Remember -- I WROTE THE BOOK...!!
|
The sheets in this cover shot were the first I ever made -- out of a linen damask tablecloth... |
|
And they wore like iron! For many years...through countless launderings. But IT'S TIME FOR A NEW SET... |
|
I found this stunning, 100% linen tablecloth at an estate sale. $4. I'll show you the finished sheets...when I get them done... |
I have many beautiful sheet sets. However -- I care very little about the pillowcases matching the top sheet, and that kind of stuff.
However -- since all my sheets are white, when it's time to make the bed, I often had to pull out five or six sheets before I found a FITTED sheet and a FLAT sheet. Which is why I started to do THIS...
|
First, I fold the flat sheet.... |
|
Then, I fold the fitted sheet...and taco them together... |
|
I add three pillowcases to the pile (we have four pillows on our bed) |
|
I put the sheet bundle into the 4th pillowcase... |
|
AND NOW I HAVE A WHOLE SET OF SHEETS... |
Then, every Monday, when Carrie comes -- all she has to do is pull a pillowcase package off the shelf, and there will be a whole set of bed linens, ready to go!!
