Last summer I bought an old (probably 1960's) linen sheet in it's original package for $8. So for Christmas I've made two king-sized pillow cases which I then embroidered for my daughter and her husband. I had some sheet left over so I made a pillowcase for a square European pillow my granddaughter has on her bed -- and embroidered on that too. I still have some sheet left over but it isn't enough for pillow cases so I'll just hang on to it until I think of something else.
