Run-away Bag

Remember wanting to runaway from all your "problems" and stuffing prized possessions into a pillowcase? Well believe it or not, the thought has crossed the mind of every mom (at least once!).

Acknowledge her difficult job with a bag made from a pillowcase. It will have her thinkin' of you when she wants to escape!

Step 1 Gather Materials

While this instructable uses a standard size pillowcase (21" x 32"), a king-size pillowcase (21"x 42") will provide a longer shoulder strap. An alternative is to create a pillowcase from a pretty fabric.

Pillowcase
Needle and Thread (or sewing machine)
Pins
Scissors
Marker

Mark the pillowcase diagonally and cut.

NOTE: If you want to make a run-away bag that appears finished /reversible, cut a second pillowcase the same way.

I love the idea of re-purposing! We always used pillow cases for Halloween trick & treating -- this would be a better candy bag -- you should consider submitting this as a Halloween idea too!
