Pillow case edgings

[Lollie2639]

These are crocheted with tiny thread. They are a family treasure..over 50 years old. They are damaged from the cat. I was wondering if anyone has a pattern like this?? I cant find one anywhere.

I ordered this exact same set of pillowcases from Herrschners about three or four years ago. They have appeared in their catalog since then too. They have two patterns for Southern Belles like this and also pillowcases with a crocheted peacock set. Herrscheners does have a web site, but I don't believe they are shown there. Your best bet might be to call their toll free number and ask. The design is stamped on the pillowcases and the crohet pattern is provided.

I didn't really care about the fabric of the set. It is a poly/cotton blend and not like the old vintage set. I traced the pattern off and made a couple more sets for gifts. I made my pillowcases out of Martha Steward/KMart 200 thread per inch sheets. You could probably use the queen pillowcases too. I didn't want to use the regular size pillow cases because I thought if I took the hem out, the sewing machine stitches would still show.

Been a long time since you posted....hope you find this suggestion helpful. Initally I thought you had posted this in March 2005....I now realize this is when you joined the forum. :-)

Are you wanting to repair the damage or make a new skirt? Herrschner's does still have the kit, but it's an easy pattern to copy, just shells and chains, if you can count the stitches on your original piece. Here's a link that may be helpful if you want to try to repair it.

I looked at Herschnerrs and found it no where. If anyone has this pattern I will be so thankful. I cant crochet thread but my neighbor does...and another friend. I am hoping to pay them to make a set for me.
