From pillowcase to handy tote
Working on a budget means finding ways to recycle old items in my house is a must. One piece that seems to follow me from house to house has been my old pillowcases, which inspired this crafting how-to. Here's an easy way to reuse those old pieces of cloth into a neat, pretty tote!
