pillowcase shopping bag instructions
what you’ll need
- 1 pillowcase
- natural cotton batting (enough to line inside of pillowcase)
- 1 sheet colored felt (for exterior pockets)
- 1 1/2 yards (approximately) polypropylene webbing for shoulder straps/handles (available at most craft stores)
- sewing machine
- thread
- sewing pins
- scissors
let’s do it
- cut piece of natural cotton batting to fit the inside of pillowcase
TIP: the batting may need to be a smidge smaller than the pillowcase to fit
- wiggle batting in so it lays flat
- pin in place
- sew along all 4 sides to secure batting, about 1/8”–1/4” from edge
- fold pillowcase in half
- pin both sides to secure
- sew each side to create bag
- fold bag inside out (hem just sewn is now on inside)
- cut colored sheet of felt in half (two 6”x9” pieces)
- place one felt piece vertically and other on top of first piece
- position felt pockets on one side of pillowcase
- pin and sew to secure pocket
TIP: sew slowly so you don’t sew through the other side of your bag, walk it around and let your hands guide you
TIP: you can sew the pocket onto the bag before you sew the sides together, whichever is easier for you. Just be certain to put the pocket in the right place since you’ll be folding your pillowcase in half.
- cut 2 polypropylene webbing straps to desired lengths
- pin and sew in desired locations
