Thanks for sharing all these ideas!
Good collection! I made a reversible purse out of a vintage pillowcase: http://croqzine.com/blog/?p=972#more-972
I, too, have made a purse out of a pillowcase.
Related to your monster crafts theme, I wanted to tell you that I cut two eye holes in a pillow case for my daughter and turned her into a ghost. She is 2 and it fit perfectly. My son, nearly 5 tried it on but it was a bit small. I guess he’ll require a sheet…
I’ve been collecting pillowcases and have been looking for projects. Thanks for sharing these links.
I would love to make a pillowcase dress. Thanks for the links.
I love it! Very good idea, thank you for sharing.
Hey Marie, I like the pillow case idea!! I think I actually might be crafty for a change and make one:) LOL
WOw! Who knew an old pillowcase could be so versatile? That is just too cool. :)
Love the bag & apron…I’m off to find old pillowcases that require a much needed transformation =)
