I decided to go ahead and use my vintage galoon straight away (my auto-correct tells me I should spell galoon with two lls as in "galloons" but it is definitely spelled with just one l in the Th. de Dillmont book!) and decorate a pillowcase.
It makes for a simple and discreet decoration on a plain pillowcase but it was nice to put my lace on something that will get used in our daily lives.
I first unpicked the sides of my pillowcase just enough to fit the width of my lace,
I then marked two lines for where I wanted to sew the lace
and sewed with a stitch length so that the needle fell into the picots.
I then cut straight down the middle and turned under the small edge on both side
and sewed it down. That's it!
Best wishes,
Frivole
