I have two pillowcases that I have had for a while.  A couple of years ago, I debated over whether I should get rid of them.  That turned into a fleeting thought once my brain went into creative mode.  They were super cozy still, but the white was kind of faded.  I decided that I would bleach them, and even if they didn’t turn out super white, I appreciated the old look.  

Once again, I decided to put those good, old, warm scarves to use that have been sitting in my closet forever and a day.  I already had the embroidery thread and needle at home, so I didn’t spend any money on this project.  I hope that this quick project inspires you to upcycle your pillowcases as well.  If you decide to take on this project, how about taking pictures, and posting them below on the discussion board.

1.  Cut out six two-inch square pieces of wool.

The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

²⁰ By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

²¹ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

²² So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

²³ Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

²⁴ When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Proverbs 3: 19-24, KJV
