Pretty Pillowcases

How to:
made with
Pillowcase Pattern
¾ yd main fabric (27 x 44 in)
¼ yd of cuff fabric (9 x 44 in)

1
Lay out the main fabric right-side up.

2
Layer the cuff fabric on top, right sides together. Stitch along the top edge with a ¼ inch seam. Press seam to lay on cuff.

3
Turn the fabric face-down. Press the remaining raw edge of the cuff under ½ inch, towards the wrong side of the main fabric.

4
Fold cuff in half to the wrong side of the pillowcase, covering the raw edges of the seam.  Pin slightly below the first seam. Press the folded edge. Topstitch all layers together ⅛ inch from folded hem of cuff, close to the original seam line.

5
Fold pillowcase wrong sides together, so the pattern is on the outside. Sew a ⅛ inch seam down the long side and bottom. This is going to feel backwards, but we’re making a French seam to enclose the raw edges, so stay with me.

6
Turn the pillowcase inside out and press the seams.

7
Sew the side and bottom again, this time with a ½ inch seam. The pillowcase should be inside out. Press to finish.

    Please can you post a printable pattern on your website for “How To Make A Pillow Pet”. This one I am needing right now is it has a child laying on a black & white pet pillow. It would be nice to have it on more of your “how to’s” instructions thank you & God Bless. I would love to show off your items I make & advertise for you also.
