I like to sleep on satin pillowcases. Though for some strange reason, the washing/drying process seems to tear them up. I’m tired of paying $20 for something rendered useless after several washes.  So I’ve decided to make my own.

I already have a sewing machine (which sits in the basement, unused) and I just bought enough fabric for two pillowcases for $7.11 online.  I may already have thread at home but if not, it shouldn’t be more than $2.  Hopefully these will fare better than the previous ones.

What DIY projects have you undertaken to save money?
