These should add a sense of loving to someone's nights.

Those look great. I do like making pillow cases. Made some for my DD and DH for Christmas. I don't do the burrito method. I am not sure what I did wrong but it was too hard for me to pull it out. So I do layer the main fabric, then the flange fabric and the cuff fabric on top of that - but instead of the cuff fabric already folded I leave it open then sew all layers together, then match of the two sides wrong side out, sew them together (side and bottom), press the side seam open, iron a hem in the cuff, and then press the cuff so the hem is just below the seam that connects all the pieces, and from the top, sew on flange. That holds the flange down and I don't have to hand sew the cuff down.

quiltingcandy, that is the way i've always made mine. this burrito way it new to me. it's like paper piecing. backwards to what my mind has already learned to do.

Pretty fabrics! I like making pillow cases using the roll it up method so there is no raw seams.

Great job always fun to make your own pillowcases that way you can pick your own color or use up some extra fabric. Happy quilting 😀
