"Here&amp;#x27;s a super-easy little project you can accomplish on a summer Friday afternoon--and enjoy all weekend long. Got an old pillowcase and a pair of scissors? That&amp;#x27;s all it takes, ladies! Yuka from the blog Closette recently emailed us with this totally brilliant project, which is perfect for making use of that pillowcase that lost its match in the dryer. &amp;quot;I thought your readers might enjoy this tutorial about how to turn a lonely pillowcase with a cool print into a cute summer tank top,&amp;quot; she wrote. The process is unbelievably easy: Wash and dry your pillowcase, turn it inside out, and place it down with the closed end at the top. Lay a tank top down over it and trace its silhouette with a pencil or fabric pen, placing the straps at the closed top of the case. If you want to finish the raw edges, leave about an extra inch and a half of fabric all the way around. If not, snip carefully and leave the edges raw, making sure to keep the top stitches intact (these will become the tank top&amp;#x27;s straps). Turn it back right side out, slip it on, and you&amp;#x27;re good to go! Head over to Closette for more details and up-close photos of this project, then tell us...would you ever make a tank top out of a pillowcase? Are you surprised at how cute this one is? Discuss!
