IKEA pillowcase tote bag.

I have some pillowcases from IKEA that have awesome patterns but don't really go with my new bedding (plus they're not very soft). So I've been thinking about what I could do with them....

A bag! Of course! There's this cheap little canvas shoulder bag that I got from Crafty Bastards that has coffee stains and pencil lead all up in it, but I still carry it around almost every day because it's the perfect size and style for my daily routine.

So I decided to make my own.

Materials needed:
one standard pillowcase
sewing machine

Step 1:
Step 2:

(Step 3, 4, and 5)...

And tada! A tote!
