Pillowcase Tote – Sewing Tutorial
Today’s feature is from Creative Kismet with a fabulous Pillowcase Tote Tutorial:
Many of you requested a tutorial for my pillowcase grocery bags. They are super easy and quick to make, involving only straight line sewing.
The straps actually take a bit more time than the bag itself, but still easy enough. Hopefully these instructions are easy to follow.
Here is what you will need:
- Cutting mat or nice large space to work on
- scissors (rotary cutter optional)
- Thrifted pillow case (any size), washed and ironed
- Sewing machine, thread, pins and sewing needles (optional)
- hot iron
- About one hour of time and some good music.
The hour of good music is a must!
There are lots of good pictures and the instructions provided couldn’t be better. This is a great project for recycling those retro pillowcases and they’re easy enough to make even for those of us that are simple sewers.
Also gives another good reason to toss the plastic and carry fabric shopping bags. Nice project!
Please visit the site above for full project details.

Did EVERYONE have a pair of these pillowcases? LOL
Thanks! We came across this website having NEVER made a bag before and having very little sewing skills. We made our first one in about an hour and a half. We love it! We look forward to making more for gifts.
