First SAVE-THE-WORLD Task

We all have our weaknesses, one of mine is this question 

 "Would you like to get (insert a brand of your choice) carry bag for $1 to help (insert a charity of your choice)?" 

Of Course!! You said $1 right? Minus a plastic bag? Why not? Every body wins!! 

Well, almost...

 I realised my apartment has countless amounts of my good intention carry bags here and there. It is part of my duty to save our planet by reducing RUBBISH.. 

So my First Mission!!

(This is Typo carry bag)

 

So I'll turn this cute carry bag into a pillow case
just because I have plenty of pillow lying around as well..

Let's start!!

What you need;

1. The Bag of your choice preferably with a nice design  mine is the map of Uganda.
2. A pillow (minus the cover..DUHH!!)
3. Scissors and measuring tape
4. Pins, thread and needles (It is quite easy to hand sew but I have a sewing machine so why not?)
5. A good spirit :] 

So... 

•  Measure the Pillow in length and width mine was 14"x16"
• Cut the excess out eg; handles or the label. To make 1 piece of fabric
• The fabric that I ended up with is a tad bit too long in length but isn't long enough to cover the back so I cut out the old cover for the back

Pattern
* Pink represent inside, Blue is the outside so make sure you have the design facing the right way.        

Cut "A" Longer than "B" because the upper part shows that the right side goes in... (You'll get me soon)

Attach the bottom together, the easiest way to make this step perfect is the put the right side together so it shows the "Pink" side and sew the bottom ( fig. C)

Now you sew the sides (fig.D)(with the pink side showing) but you still have the longer bits right? hang in there.. you fold that bit over to the other side (fig.E) and sew the sides on to the rest.. 

So now you can pull the right side out, adjust it a little then put a naked pillow in ... And then...

After all the

TADA!!!

And of course I didn't stop at that
I ran into the dressing room and after making such a mess in there I found

Two old tees that I don't wear anymore.

1. The Pom print on the left had a massive hole at the back
2. And I wore the Guns print on the right once when I dyes my hair black
   
   and of course being me, I managed to make a big black patch at the back of it.

THEN.......

 

I'm so happy :D
