If for some reason you can't access it, the gal says The dimensions are typically 24" wide and the length is 25"-30" longer than the width of the mattress, so that there is a 12"-15" drop on each side of the bed."
I'm tempted to take my favorite easy table runner pattern, increase the size of the blocks, and make it to these dimensions to match my bed.
:lol: I am very grateful for the sizes....had no idea where to begin because I, too, have a table runner pattern I could enlarge. Did you check out the"Make Your Bed" book on Amazon.com....they, also, had some neat pillow cases
I did check it out. You could make your pattern and cut it to the size for a pillow case or pillow cover. Lots of fee patterns here with various styles

These are free directions that I really like for making envelope pillow covers
