  Step 1

  Gather your materials, scissors, machine hem tape fabric glue, what ever you want to use, and an iron. lay your pillowcase out on a flat surface iron all the seams and edges flat repeat on both sides till all wrinkles are gone.

• 

  Step 2

  Useing a very sharp pair of scissors cutthe bottom hem off your pillowcase then cut it on the diagional as .

• 

  Step 3

  You will end up with 2 acute triangles, once you flip them around lay them out like so.

• 

  Step 4

  Now simply place one half inside the other,(open one half completely and lay the other half on top of it still closed and fold open half over )being sure to match up your corners.

• 

  Step 5

  After you have every thing matched up and have hemmed any raw edges you want to it will look like this.

• 

  Step 6

  This parts a lil tricky to explain once the triangles are booked together you will end up with 4 loose edges(marked in red) one on the outside of both sides and one on both sides of the inside, this is where i found it easier to use hem tape along the edges and press it down according to the manufactures directions.

• 

  Step 7

  Hem up the bottom edge, turn your purse right side out iron every thing flat again carefull of the places u glued or used hem tape on, tie a tight square knot out of the points of the triangles and wala a super simple purse that cost ya pretty much nothing , if u were like me and had pillowcases laying around that didnt match...

  incase any one does happen to notice , yes the pics are of 2 different pillow cases, i was working on 2 purses at the same time... and forgot to take a pic while i was working on the one i was photographing... Have Fun!
