Default Pillowcase question

I'm working with a group of kids to make pillowcases for our hospital children's house. Using the basic pattern as posted on All People Quilt: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/millio...s/RollItUp.pdf

If you have done this, please tell me if there is any reason why you need to do the French seam for the sides first, and then the bottom. If you go down the side, then pivot with needle down, then do the bottom, can't you turn it outside in and do the same again?
We ARE going to do the French seams, as we think it's important, though I know some people don't. It's a question of the order of doing things. I've tried it and it seems to work ok that way, but maybe there is a reason the pattern says what it does.
Thank you if you are knowledgeable about this and can advise me.
