Hi and happy Friday! Do you have fun plans? It’s my last weekend before flying out to Chicago for CHA — the Craft and Hobby Association trade show. It’s always fun going and seeing friends and all the new trends and crafty goodness! Are you going? Maybe we can meet! I’ll be working at the Hero Arts booth from July 25-29 and flying back on the 30th.
I have a bunch of things to do before I leave, but I’ve just got to make time to try and make a skirt from this vintage pillowcase my Grandma gave me back when I got my first apartment.
The idea is from the Betz White’s book Sewing Green. She said it only takes an hour — and it doesn’t require a zipper — or even a hem, yay! Can’t wait to try! Plus it will be so great to put the pillowcase to another use. Picked up that ric-rac last weekend, I think it will add a happy little touch!
Do you have any fun weekend plans? I’d love to hear!
OH MY! I didn’t know you were attending CHA! That means I’ll have the great privilege of meeting you :)
Yay Tiff!!! Can’t wait to meet!
Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun this weekend, look forward to seeing your creation, my weekend is going to consist of plenty of time in the craft room as I don’t have to work. YAY!

Really looking forward to that skirt – great pillowcase! Wish, wish, wish I could go to the CHA – so much excitement in one place!
Can’t wait to see what you create! Love the upcycling and love the happy colors of that pillowcase! I’ve been on a sewing kick myself lately. Been creating upcycled felt goodies & lots o’ baby quilts. :) It doesn’t help that a fab modern fabric store opened up right next to my house here in Dallas.
