In the fall of 2008 I bought a queen flannel sheet at Savers. I used that sheet to make a crib sized fitted sheet and pillow case for Catherine’s tiny bed. I even blogged about it way back when (almost to the day!).

The sheet set lasted through Catherine and lived on to keep Esme snuggly warm for her years sleeping on that crib mattress. When both had moved on to bigger beds I tucked the fabric away in my stores.

Today, in true Joseph Had a Little Overcoat fashion, I have taken the sheet and pillowcase and transformed them into some nice, soft, new hankies. Waste not, want not!
