Tutorial: Flannel shirt pillow cover
Robin from Happy at Home shows how you can turn an old flannel shirt into a cute pillow cover. The button placket and pocket make neat details for the front of the pillow. The button placket also serves as the closure – how handy is that?

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
