Multi Purpose Pillow Pockets

This is a very versatile and customizeable pocket made out of a pillow case. Use it as an apron, put it on Grandma's walker, tie it to the kid's stroller, use it for whatever you want! This is a good project for beginners and it takes less than an hour from start to finish. For the purpose of the tutorial, I have used a plain white pillowcase.

Step 1 Get ready!

Materials:
- pillowcase
- thread
- ribbon
- scissors
- pins
- measuring tape
- tracing paper and wheel or washable marker
- straight edge or ruler

You will also need a sewing machine unless you want to stitch by hand.

The basic premise of this pocket is that it is just a folded pillowcase sewn in all the right places. There are two rows of pockets: upper and lower. Vertical stitches are added to make pockets.

Before you begin, decide what you will use your pockets for. This will help you plan where you want your pockets and how big they will be. It will also help you decide how much ribbon you need. If you want an apron, you will need a single length of ribbon about 60" to 70" long. If you are using it for a stroller, walker etc., you will need two lengths about 30" to 40" long.

Read the entire instructable and have a plan in mind before you begin. It is easier to make a plan than to fix mistakes.
