REFASHION: fun with pillowcases

Bless my niece's heart because she wants to learn to sew and started asking me at the beginning of summer. On a rainy day, Tova and I worked on two pillowcases from my refashion stash. She decided to turn the grey pillowcase into a wrap skirt and the white pillowcase into a cross body purse.

I've made two or three wrap skirts in the past, but I just wasn't super confident with my sewing skills back then. Now, I'm definitely more confident when creating cute elastic waist skirts, but Tova had her heart set on a wrap skirt.

With the second pillowcase Tova wanted a cute little cross body purse. Hmmmmmm. I tried to create a purse a long time ago, but my patience and attention span distracted me from the project. A small purse for my niece? Shouldn't be too hard, right?
