Happy New Year! My parents just arrived for a two week stay, so there hasn’t been much crafting time, but for those of you looking for some projects, here is a roundup of ways to recycle pillowcases into something else.
Number 1: The Always Popular Pillowcase Tote Bag.
This tutorial is by Max and Ellie and features detailed instructions.
Number 2: Cafe Style Apron with Pockets
This tutorial was designed by Lee-Ann from Whoopsie Daisies and featured on Vintage Indie. It’s made from two pillowcases and has those always important pockets.
Number 3: Pillowcase Dress
I found this kid’s dress tutorial on Craftleftovers It was designed and written up by Australian blogger and author Alissa Devanny of Refashion.
Number 4: Pillowcase Pajama Bottoms
Brandy of Minivan Life put together this tutorial. I think the dress and the bottoms together would make for a cute, complete set of pajamas.
Oh, and don’t forget that you can always cut up those pillows and sheets to make fabric yarn.
I have always wanted to make a skirt from a pillowcase and yet I have never had the opportunity.Never seen a pillowcase with a pattern and colors I liked and had the heart to cut it lol!
Neat ideas!
I still want to make one of those dresses for BBJ.
I love upcycling pillow cases, it is just so much fun to see all those beautiful vintage fabrics turn into something new.
Oh I love that cafe style apron. It is just lovely.
Oh.. nice! it would be nice too if item no4 was sewn into a bag.. sorry this is equally nice too but I just love flowery fabric sewn into a big bag:-)
keep up the good works.. they are reallly nice
