How to Sew Crafts with Vintage Pillowcases

    • 1). Make a laundry bag for a girl by adding a seam at the top about an inch above the existing seam to form a casing. Cut a slit at the side seam on the outside. Use cording for strings.

      Embroidery on pillowcases is work already done

      Make a doll dress for a large doll by using the embroidered edge as the bottom hem. Cut the pillow case about half to three-fourths of the way down (depending on the size of the doll) and use the closed end to make a round double yoke for the dress. Sew the two yoke pieces together and turn. Gather the embroidered half onto the yoke. The hem and design are already in place. You can make a dress for a larger or smaller doll with a little imagination.

      Your sewing projects can look great with pillow case embroidery

      Cut out the embroidery from a set of pillow cases and applique it onto a blouse or shirt, either with the sewing machine or by hand. You can also use it as embellishment on a sweatshirt. Be creative, and have some fun.

    • 4). Make a purse with a pillowcase by using a purchased handle set. Sew the opening closed and use the embroidered portion of the pillow case for the front of the bag. Use the plain portion of the pillowcase for a lining for the purse so it is double fabric all around.
