I made the dresses on the cover and I was so excited when I saw them on there. I'm so delighted to be in such great company with the book, there are loads of amazing projects, and the book itself is beautiful. Once you start collecting pillowcases, it's really hard to stop. :) Enjoy! Thank you! I made the dresses on the cover and I was so excited when I saw them on there.

I'm making yarn out of a plastic bag in the video, but it's the same principle for anything that's a tube. You can use it on jumpers, trousers, anything really. Hope this helps anyone who wants to crochet or knit their pillowcases. the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESQbELunPZg&feature=channel_page rockpool candy I’ve got a tutorial on youtube that you can use for stripping up pillowcases.

You should give it a title like, "Crafty Pod Book Report Stats" or maybe something else that is a little catchier and doesn't suck. :) And then people can say, "I love book reviews on Crafty Pod because she has that awesome 'Craft Stat Box.'" (that name's a stinker, too, but you get what I mean). You're rockin' it, Diane! I’m *loving* your stat box for book reviews.

I love simple stuff like this and not having to troll through Craftster for the cool pillowcase stuff will be great. :) Anything combining thrifting and crafting in my book is great, anyway.
