I finally got my hands on this book, Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase. After seeing Michelle post about it, I had to get a copy and share my excitement. Thank you Michelle for sharing:)
I did two projects for this book that I am very excited about–the reversible sun hat and the simply red skirt. It was great fun doing this and learning a bit of the process of getting something published. Not as scary as I once thought. And it’s pretty incredible seeing your name printed in a book!
……
Even some follow bloggers that I “know”, like Bella Dia, Oh Fransson!, and Vintage Chica are in this great book.
The book itself has loads of great things to make. Twenty-eight projects within categories such as Wear, Show and Live. I’m looking forward to trying the lounge pants, sunny lunchbox, crocheted bowl, baby quilt and maybe a dress or apron for my niece. I definitely have enough pillowcases to work with.

I’d love to know where I can get a copy of this book. I so want to make some of those cute little girl’s sundresses and that red skirt would be awesome for summer!

It is available at Barnes&Noble ($19.99) and through Amazon ($13.57 + free shipping for orders over $25). There is a link in my post for Amazon.
I’m planning on making a dress for my niece. There are 4 different dress variations! All are quite lovely.

Oh, I made a reversible hat from a pattern
that didn’t call for it to be reversible.
I thought there should be a way to make it
reversible. I think thought I don’t like
the combo of materials so I am going to
change them.
I think I am going to have to check into
getting the book. I want to make things
with pillowcases.
God Bless You and Yours
and Your Creative Life!!!
