A Week of Pillowcases - with Kootoyoo - Day One

Project Pillowcase
#1 of 5 speedy quick “present cupboard” craft projects made from one pillowcase.


I try to use materials from Op Shops in my projects & I’ve been successful with this challenge. BUT…you shouldn’t feel restricted to using pillowcases. Remnants or lovely new fabrics will work just as effectively.

The Beginning:



The End Product:



One eco-friendly shopping bag.

The How To:
Can be found here
You need to use bias tape for this project. So visit here for the best tutorial ever.

The Verdict:
Super easy, super speedy & a AAA rating for the present cupboard. People on the nice list WILL be getting these for Christmas


Our recommendation for new fabric crafting of this project:
A reversible bag using this fabric with this fabric
Insider trading tip:
If you decide to go with this be sure to visit Bianca’s blog first. She’s having a sale.


Win The Bag:
Visit Kootoyoo & comment “Hi from Mike” on the relevant Shopping Bag post. Winner announced in tomorrow’s post.

Disclaimer:
I prefer the drill to the sewing machine so please bear this in mind when assessing my sewing skills.
edit - if you'll be posting pillowcase posts this week two - then send me an email and I'll be sure to link to you! {(mikesfitzroy(at)bigpond(dot)com}) You need to post at least twice this week to be featured in our side-bar. xx pip
