The Embroidered Pillowcase

8 Heirloom Pillowcase Sets • Simple Embroidery • Linen Sprays • Homemade Bedroom Comforts

There was a time when even the simplest household linens were made special by hand.

A flower stitched along the edge of a pillowcase, a tiny bluebird perched on a branch, a graceful monogram, or a row of wildflowers could transform an ordinary piece of cotton into something worth keeping.

Thimbles & Tales: The Embroidered Pillowcase brings that lovely tradition back with eight coordinating pillowcase sets inspired by vintage embroidered linens, old-fashioned transfers, hope chests, and the handmade bedrooms of generations past.

Designed with approachable embroidery in mind, the book includes transfer patterns that can be copied and enlarged, stitch guidance, coordinating DMC floss palettes, and inspiration for turning plain pillowcases into beautiful handmade keepsakes.

Inside you'll discover:

• 8 coordinating embroidered pillowcase sets
• 16 pillowcase designs for creating matching pairs
• Traceable transfer patterns
• Beginner-friendly embroidery stitches
• DMC floss suggestions
• Proper placement for traditional pillowcase embroidery
• A bonus pillowcase-edge embroidery pattern
• The history of embroidered pillowcases, hope chests, and treasured household linens
• Ideas for adding a handmade touch to the bedroom
• A simple crocheted pillowcase edging
• Tips for washing, folding, storing, and caring for embroidered linens
• Lavender sachets and scented drawer papers
• Homemade lavender, rose, lemon, and cottage-inspired linen and room scents
• Inspiration for creating handmade gifts meant to be used, loved, and passed down

The eight sets include Bluebird Morning, Grandma's Roses, Sweet Dreams, Lavender & Lace, Little Cottage Garden, Wildflower Meadow, Home Sweet Home, and Heirloom Monogram.

Whether you're stitching a pair for your own bed, preparing a wedding or housewarming gift, creating something for a guest room, or beginning a linen collection for someone you love, these projects celebrate the beauty of making everyday things a little more special.

Because a pillowcase may be an ordinary thing—until someone takes the time to stitch it by hand.
