August's swap at Shabby Chic Cafe was "Green", so I decided to set myself a challenge.
How much could I make from one thrifted pillow case? It was just an ordinary, average sized pillow case, and this is what I come up with.
Firstly a simple peg bag

Next came these napkin rings
I added paper napkinsThen I made the pillow
I had a little bit of fabric left so I made a small scented heart. I haven't loaded that picture on because it was dire, but you can see the heart dangling from the peg bag in the top photo.So here's my challenge to you.
How much can you make from a pillow case?
Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
Love and blessings in Christ

I wonder.. does rampant slobbering count as a craft? I can do that with a pillowcase no problem! :)
Wow, that's really clever. I have quite a few thrifted pillowcases, may have to have a go at this!

A great challenge but why does my mind instantly go blank when I'm challenged? !!!
LOL, I don't think I'd beat your wonderful lovely handmade items. I really don't know which I like best they are all SO good.
Oh Joy............. I aint got a scobby, but i am willing to have a go .............. i think.
What a wonderful idea Honey, if it works [for me] it would be a great thing to challenge our friends and familys with.
A great idea for the WIN ladies.
God Bless you my Angel and dear sweet sister. Mwah, X x X x X x X
great idea, but sadly i will not be up for the challenge... as at mo i havent got much time spare... but if i did i am sure i could cheat..lol... as i get loads of those long double pillow cases in. i think they are called bolsters ? but htey only come in white...
good luck everyone cant wait to see what you do..
BM.. you are sooo creative, and crafty...i am sooo jealous..lol..
Heather........... just had a thought.
You could supply us with the pillowcases. Just odd patterned ones.
We used to have bolsters on our beds when we were kids.
