I Had an idea to try and make something to store my tools in while doing my workshops. Really easy to make it can be made from an old pillowcase. I have more phots on my blog, would love to know what you think

thanks in advance

Lovely idea and handmade too - pratical and a sence of achievement.

Fab idea. Really simple, really effective. Could also be adapted to make a money belt for while you're at craft fairs.

Wonder if I made one out of a pillowcase, would it hold money when doing a fair ? Much prettier than a cashbox.

If you want it to hold a lot of coins, keep your pillowcase doubled and use both thicknesses as one (if that makes sense). If you want it to be extra strong, sew in a backing too. Anything stong (denim is ideal) would work.

You can find some fab old pillowcases in charity shops and the like. In fact, I'm now thinking an old pair of jeans could be cut down into a good moneybelt!!!

Oh if you incorporate the back pocket youu could use it to hold your business cards in!
