Tutorial: Market Tote Sewn From a Pillowcase

I've just finished this tutorial on how to sew your own reusable shopping totes from pillowcases. They roll up and snap together for convenient storage and travel. They're also fully lined and machine washable.

All you need is a pretty pillowcase, a few tools and some time.
