As it is the piece I have was cut kinda wonky but have enough except for the wof.
So do I assemble center and go on to sew then trim the body down? Have you had this problem?

I don't have anything else to put with this pillow case to change it. What would you do?

You might look at http://www.overallquilter.com/video14/ (I think) for making a tube pillowcase with french seams. Very easy and fun to make. The instructions are very clear. I've made a bunch using these instructions. After you make the tube and turn it right side out, you trim up the side.
Hope this helps.
