Are you wanting a bed pillow case or one that is decorative?
For a bed case, I find that usually 1/2 yard does it. I use a ratty pillowcase for a pattern, too. Be sure to allow for seam allowances and hems. |

Try to watch this. It gives nice instructions for a neat pillowcase. I made these for my great grandkids for Christmas one year. They loved them. Happy sewing! |
For very specific instructions, it is helpful to know the size of the pillow that the pillowcase would be covering.
Here is a link to some bed pillow sizes: https://casper.com/blog/pillow-sizes/ The ones illustrated in that link are all 20 inches (51 cm) by various lengths. The "regular" size one is 20 x 26 inches. Generally speaking, if using fabric that is at least 42 inches wide, I would use the length of the pillow plus at least 5 inches more for a hem and seam allowances. |
I saved one of the links above because I need to make a few more pillow cases.
