Pillowcase Bag – Sew Easy!

Super Easy – Very Green – Great for the Beach

Pillowcase Bag Perfect to Make with the Kids!

I have been trying to introduce my kids to the sewing machine – mind you, I can barely sew a straight line but I do think it is important to be able to sew on a button and know how to thread a sewing machine – you never know when you might need to put something together in a pinch! 

These are so easy to make and are easy to wash – after all they are pillowcases. We headed to the thrift store to find some cool pillowcases and love the $.50 price of them. Our daughter recently got her own sewing machine and having simple and functional projects to make on her own are great. These are a perfect gift to give.

Here’s what you need:

• Pillowcase
• Marker or Pen that will write on fabric
• Scissors
• Thread
• Sewing Machine or Needle/Patience

TIP – I picked up some pillowcases at the local thrift store for $.50 each – mush less than purchasing fabric and more than half the stitching is already done for you!

Steps (See Pictures below)

• Turn the pillowcase inside out and sew the top together.
• Fold the case in and mark pillowcase
• Cut along the marked area
• Optional – turn down edges and sew in

Let us know how yours turns out!
