I like the "Pillowcase Memory" that are sprinkled throughout the margins of this book. A nice touch.
I like the photography. I like the concept of repurposing pillowcases.
I did not like all the plugs for Lark Crafts online (and at least one other website) sprinkled throughout the text of the book (I counted at least 4).

There are one or two clever and attractive projects in this book, but most are lame and clunky looking. The sections cover wearables (tunics and sundresses for children made by threading ties through casings)objects like purses (pillowcases not good material for these), and home objects like coasters. The most creative project is an apron made in layers consisting of the decorative edgings from vintage cases mixed with vintage patterned slices of pillowcases. Now no one needs a fancy apron, but ...more
This is a great concept: lots of diffrent designers created projects using pillowcases as the medium. Some of these are cute, but the lower rating comes from a lack of projects I want to make. The only one I'm really interested in is the kimono on page 48. The pillowcases in the photopraphs are also far nicer than the selection at my local thrift store, and I am a frequent thrifter.
So many simple and great ideas... who knew a pillowcase could look so cute in so many ways. It also encourages using pillowcases that are vintage or from thrift stores like Goodwill.
way fun to see designers rise to the challenge of how to sew something new with an old pillowcase. don't know if there is anything I'd make, but loved the inspiration.
There are a few things I want to make from this book. I like the overall feel and look of the book however.
cute stuff. made the lunchbox 2x. wll mke very thing at some point
Some pretty cute ideas for pillowcases
Fairly simple projects. Not sure how the author got her hands on so many beautiful vintage pillowcases, though! Mine are all garish mustard yellow creations from the 70s.
Cutest project was the back-of-the-chair remote control cozy.

Limited amount of projects, most of which I have seen before (for free)on other craft sites. The majority were geared toward those who have children to make items for.
I didn't think this book was great. The styling is beautiful but the patterns are pretty common and not necessarily ground breaking.
