    I've used this method for a few years making pillowcases for my grandchildren for BDs, holidays, or just because! Very easy and fast! Funny, I've never made any for myself!

    One thing I would like to add to this is: I always think of a pillowcase as the border being the bottom of the case and the body being the top. If you're using directional fabric either in the body or border have the fabric upside down when facing you.

    Me, too. I've been teaching this as part of my "Beginning Sewing" class for the past few years, as it gives my students a finished project after the second class. They love it and can't believe they've already made something that looks good!
    I also have been making these for bridal shower gifts - make a set for 4 major holidays - Christmas, Easter, 4th of July and either Halloween or Thanksgiving. My grandnieces just love them!

    Thank you so very much. I had seen that before but couldn't find it again when I wanted to make one. It's saved now!
