Pillowcases feel like the perfect summer crafting material to me - lightweight, colorful (often flowery) prints, small for quick projects... Betz White has recently posted about her pillowcase inspiration, which led her to design this shirred pillowcase top, and share a tutorial on the Craft blog!

Betz White also shows us how to make a 10 minute pillowcase apron on her own blog:
