Craft Challenge-Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase, March 7, 2009
This review is from: Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase (Paperback)
What a delightful book....I was pleasently surprized.
It has some of the familiar ideas like little girls sun dresses and little boys capes,,,but it doesn't stop there,,, I LOVE the embroidered tiered Apron, the Tea Pot Cozy and assorted Purses & totes....
It even reminds us to utilize the bits & pieces for stuffed toys and pin cushion, etc.
I have a feeling my scrap pile of tattered/worn pillowcases will be getting smaller.
I also like the ides of using old, stained cases, cutting them into strips and crocheting them into a bowel, I'll go one further,,,a small rug.
The graphics and photos are wonderful and the instructions look to be simple & clear and easy to modify.
My first project will be the tiered apron.
Thank you Suzanne for a great book.

A little bit of history - remembering pillowcases of past, April 2, 2009
This review is from: Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase (Paperback)
I have to share that I am one of the featured vingettes in the book - my little memory of pillowcases is on a side panel.
The neat thing though is that my daughter has wanted to refashion pillowcases for sometime and this book has clearly explained directions and ideas. Such great projects.
If you have little ones and are busy sewing clothing for them this would be a great addition because the projects are cute and fast! A plus for busy mom's.
Thank Lark for a great craft book & including my little memory.

Nice book, October 22, 2009
This review is from: Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase (Paperback)
Photography is beautiful, and the projects are not hard even for a somewhat beginner. My only dislike is that there is no way for me to enlarge the patterns in this book 300% and more. So, I'm left frustrated and trying to 'make' patterns with paper. Ugh. I've made two of the dresses and while it took me a lot longer than someone with experience they are adorable.
