Crafts! Antique pillow case into a bag

Hello dear readers! Today I went out shopping after school to a place walking distance to my house. It`s called "Lillian's fine collectables". I went there to see if I could find something and just to check it out in general.

Well, I found many interesting things, but I couldn`t spend much as I wanted to save some money for an upcoming event to Casa Loma with some of my friends. But ! I did find this little interesting item!
















What is it? An old pillowcase! I know what you`re thinking, why? But, I saw it`s potential to be turned into a bag :3 Even if it zipped up on the side, and not the top. It was only 3 dollars! (The store owner was so nice!)

Here`s a close up on the embroidery, it`s really cute!

















So, now to turn this pillowcase into a bag! I had some dollar store lace lying around, so I used that for the straps
















And then sewed them on! It`s actually very strong :3 I can carry all my valuables in it!



















There! Now I have my own unique vintage bag! And it only cost 4 dollars! 3 for the case, and 1 for the lace :3

Try making a pillowcase bag of your own!
