Reversible Pillowcase Book Bag

This is the fastest and cheapest reversible bag I've ever made.  Found pillowcases at a local store selling for $1 a pair.  Creative juices in tow; I thought of a book bag would be great for these.


1.  Take 2 pillowcases either the same print or mix and match.  This bag is reversible so have fun with it. 
I played around with the curve and length of the handle.  Personal preference.  Have fun with it. 
2.  Fold pillowcases in 1/2.  Cut to preference.  Open. 
3.  Using 1/2" seams and right sides together, stitch curved edges together.  Leave open at handle. 
4.  Right side out. 

5.  This is a little tricky, but it works.   With right sides together at handle stich top of handle.
6.  With wrong sides together stitch along seams to reinforce. 

Your bag is complete. 
  
Enjoy!
