I stuffed it in the back of the closet until I figured out what to do with it and that day came today when I had a hard time rounding up four king size pillow cases for my bed. Some people lose socks, we seem to lose pillow cases! I think my oldest son may be stealing them actually. Sooo&#8230;I decided to turn that ripped sheet into 3 king size pillow cases.<\/p>\n<p>I used an existing pillow case as my template and I cut around it, leaving some space to be able to turn and sew. I thought about cutting the elastic off but figured if I left it on, that was just one side I wouldn&#8217;t have to sew&#8230;.I am all about easy. After cutting I turned it inside out and started sewing, reinforcing the edges and corners as I went. Then I flipped it right side out and I had a pillow case! This was a great recycling project that only took about 20 minutes from start to finish for all the pillow cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1486\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: black 1px solid;\" title=\"pillowcase pattern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-001-2.jpg\" alt=\"pillowcase pattern\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-001-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-001-2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1487\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: black 1px solid;\" title=\"pillowcase made from old sheets\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-002-2.jpg\" alt=\"pillowcase made from old sheets\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-002-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-002-2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1488\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: black 1px solid;\" title=\"pillowcase finished\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-004-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pillowcase Finished\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-004-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/naturemoms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/pillowcase-004-2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While cleaning up my linen closet I found a fitted sheet that had ripped awhile back.
