Bag into Pillow

A few years ago I took a class to learn a knitting technique called entrelac.  It's basically a knitted fabric that looks woven.  The project for the class was this bag.
.
.
Well, the bag has been sitting around since I finished it, because it's not really a very useful bag to me.
.
.
(Sprocket contemplating the bag.)
.
Not long ago it dawned on me that I could use the bag as a pillow cover instead!
.
So I got a pillow form from Michaels, and lo and behold it fits!
.
It's a pretty tight fit, so I opted to sew the cover on rather than use buttons.  I figured that the gaps between the buttons would show the white pillow inside.
.
Voila!  Now my handiwork is useful rather than stuffed away in my craft cupboard awaiting an uncertain fate!
