I've made a ton of pillowcases. If it is for a single person, I have made 1. If it is for a couple, I usually make 2. My husband and I each have one that doesn't match for when we take a driving trip. We take our own pillows and we use our home-made pillowcases to replace the pillows on the motel bed. We sleep better with our own pillows. My husband takes some kids fishing and last Christmas I made all 4 of them fish pillowcases. They just loved them. My husband also fishes with a friend and I made one for his buddy and he really liked it. It is a unique gift.
