New Project - Floral Pillowcase

I bought some plain white linen to make a pillow case. I've tranfered a lovely floral design and I am going to work it in pastel colours. No progress so far, but I should have some done by tomorrow. The weather has started to heat up so sewing is a bit harder.

I also got some 400 count colour ready made pillow cases. I am going to put designs on them as well. I know a higher thread count is meant to be better, but I think these feel rather hard.
