3 sets of pillowcases done

I finally got my pillowcases done. the red one is from a kit, so lovely fabrics. the others are fabrics i had on had i wanted to use up.
I did these hot dog style. french seams. interesting. i only made one mistake and had to sew a seam twice to catch the other edge of a cuff.

Those are nice! I recently made myself 2 pair of pillowcases. I used the same method as you... burrito style and french seams. I'm sleeping on one pair now. Love my new pillowcases.

Very nice looking! Don't you just love making them this way, think about it because of the french seams they look so much better than the store bought ones! Our guild makes these year round.
