Practise What You Preach
May 1, 2008 by Shelly
I gave a link to Martha Stewart’s Pillowcase bag the other day. Here’s my first attempt:
I made this bag for one of my great nieces who just turned 6. I plan to make it a beach bag of sorts, filling it with fun things for the shore from the dollar store.
I did end up buying a twin sheet set to get the pillow case since I couldn’t easily find print pillowcases locally, but since I’m running such a shortage on pink in my stash, I think that I’ll easily gobble up the rest of the fabric. Technically, you could make a fabric tube from the sheet material and make another pillow case bag. Which I might do as well.
I carried the bag around for a few minutes with some stuff in it. Not bad. I wouldn’t use it every day, but it would be nice to pack extras in when you’re going out and about.
Total project time - 40 minutes.
