My "something else" for this challenge is an odd pillowcase that I was ready to put in the Goodwill bag. Then I remembered I had seen an idea earlier on Martha Stewart's website for a pillowcase shoulder bag
and thought it would be perfect for this challenge.
I started with pillowcase and cut off 1/2 inch on the closed end.
Cut on diagonal and hem all four edges.
Insert one of the halves inside the other and sew where they
overlap.
Turn inside out and stitch and trim across bottom.
Tie ends and you have a bag!

Oh that looks like the shape of the bag Susi wants to make with some vintage needlepoint. I have to make sure she sees this.
Wow, that's simple but effective. I like the fabric, and it lends itself nicely to the shape of the bag.
