Hello!

So, I finally finished the first pillowcase!

Removing the waste canvas was a little trickier than I had thought, but I got it in the end. The instructions said to "steam wet", so I wet the fabric and pressed it with the iron on the wrong side a bit. Though, in retrospect, I should have put an extra layer of fabric in between because my iron now has traces of glue.
Oh, well!
Here are some pictures of the process. It wasn't easy pulling the wet threads by hand, so I thought I'd used eyebrow tweezers instead. It did the trick wonderfully and it was much easier that way.

Removed the hoop.

Just starting to remove the waste canvas...

Wow! The tweezers really did the trick!

And the finished pillowcase!

It looks cool, but I think it looks kinda bare, I might need to embellish it a bit. :)
Hope you enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed making it!

Till next time!
