But the thing that confuses me about making pillowcases is: if you make them from 100% cotton fabric, isn't it just about impossible to have them be laundered and dried in a dryer and have them come out smooth and unwrinkled without ironing, being 100% cotton? So if you give some of these pillowcases to a hospital or nursing home or other place where it's unlikely that the laundry is ironed by whoever is in charge of it, aren't these pillowcases always wrinkled and not very nice for the recipient? Just wondering.
