Here are instructions for a very simple "basic" pillowcase:

Cutting: Cut fabric 38" x 42" for a standard pillow -- for pillows other than standard size, cut this piece 42" by the length of the pillow plus 12"

Construction: All seams are 1/2" unless otherwise specified

1. Press under 1/4" hem on one 42" side -- can use Wonder Tape to get an exact 1/4".
2. Press under a 6" hem allowance for band. Fold the pillowcase in half lengthwise and choose your seam finish: French seam, 1/2" machine stitched with raw edges finished or 4 thread serger.
3. Once you have stitched the side and bottom of the folded fabric, your pillowcase is complete.


If you have any questions, please just ask :wink:
