How to make eco shopping bag from an old pillowcase | Sew in Love. I made these eco shopping bags for Christmas presents, out of vintage pillow slips. We wanted to minimise the use of wrapping paper so making reusable bags was our solution. I think we should get bonus eco points for upcycling vintage pillowcases. I used the Clover bias binding maker for the first time, and it is fantastic.
I highly recommend it! Step 1 Fold the pillowcase in half lengthways. Draw a handle in the middle, which is at least 25cm long and 7cm wide. Step 2 Cut out the curves on either side of the handle. Step 3 Finish off the edges of the handles with either bias binding or an overlocker. For the bias binding version, I made bias binding from the off-cuts of the pillow slip (thank you Clover bias binding maker) and then pressed a 2cm bias binding tape in half and attached it to the bag with basting stitches.
For the overlocker version, simply run a rolled hem stitch all the way around the raw edges. Step 4. Irena Swanson. This is commemorating the special program in Commutative Algebra at MSRI, 2002/03.

All the possible semiregular tesselations of the plane that are not regular: all shapes are regular n-gons, more than one shape is used, and the configuration at each vertex is the same.

"Piece of Hyperspace" Quilt Pattern Disclaimer: We collected these files from various backup disks many months after they were created, so we're not sure of the exact history of these things.
The pattern is assembled from 16 images, arranged in a 4x4 grid. Each image is 600x600 pixels. Two sets are provided below -- one "shadowless" and one "with shadows". We tacked the shadows onto our quilt as an afterthought. If you make a quilt from this pattern, we would enjoy hearing about it (and getting a picture, if possible).
