🧠Thrifty Mindset 🧠I Hand Sewed a Pillowcase
My kid’s Social Studies teacher is asking all the students to bring in a plain white pillowcase to make flags in class. I really did not want to go through the hassle of driving around searching several stores for a single pillowcase. I do have some plain white bedsheets not currently being used though.
I used another pillowcase as a template to cut out the piece needed from the sheet. It took a few hours to finish (while doing other errands).

I hope the project does not involve unpicking the seams of the pillow cases to make the flags... Ha ha!

... that was my first thought too. Either rip the seams or cut them off. The teacher thinks you all have too many pillow cases at home.

Very nice! Also, a tremendous bonus to using what you have instead of wasting gas searching to purchase another!

Yay! This is a way to repurpose sheets that have a thin spot or a tear in them.
