I just recently found these old transfers in my Mom's sewing box. I may see if they will still work on a pillow case. I haven't embroidered in years but it would be fun to do it again. I noticed the one sheet was for each day of the week and was suppose to be used on an apron. My Mom and Grandma always wore aprons, by the time I got married they weren't in style any more.

I remember when embroidered pillow cases were a must. I got a couple of sets as wedding presents from the old ladies at church.

Ruth, the last time I tried to use a vintage transfer, the ink wouldn't transfer, no matter how long I left the iron on it or how hot it was. If you want to use the transfer and it doesn't work, you can get a "transfer pencil" at the fabric store and go over the transfer lines with it. I've done that with pictures that weren't transfers.

I still have a few of those transfers, inherited, mostly cross stitch. I think you can still buy them.

My mother used to do a lot of cross stitch on pillowcases and tablecloths with crochet edges like this.
