This is a great one for beginner sewers. Two sides are already hemmed and stitched for you and the rest is all easy straight lines. The bags are perfect for taking to the library or the Farmer's market. We have one for each purpose (good thing pillowcase are sold as sets). You can use an old pillowcase you have lying around. According to Martha Stewart, we all have tons of old cute pillowcases that are mismatched. Most of them old and cute enough to be termed vintage. All unmatched, old pillowcases I own are either plain white or just not cute. I really don't wanted a Rainbow Brite tote bag. If your linen closet resembles mine, you can just buy your pillowcases. This allows two for you, or if you're more generous about it than I was, one for you and one for a friend. In my defense, I did make a second bag for my sister-in-law.
I'm going to direct you to Martha's site. She can explain it better than I can. I originally came across this bag, not on her website, but in her sewing book, Martha Stewart's Encycolpedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts, a great resource for sewing basics, as well as a compilation of some wonderful ideas.
