What awesome Pillow Cases...Beautiful.

I found this one. http://quiltbug.com/PDF/hotdog.pdf

all people quilt has a nice video on how to do it.....they call it roll up....and compared it to a jelly roll.....funny hun

Okay---here are all the names so far for the pillowcases
Hot Dog, Sausage, Burrito, Tube, Roll-Up and Magic!! I think that is the wildest thing for the pillowcases to have so many different names. Any new names to add to the list???

I have made a few of these pillowcases and have found that instead of rolling the body, I fan-fold it. When it is fan-folded, it pulls out so much easier...no tugging. Try it and let me know what you think. (Can I get a patent on this?) :-)

Whatever you want to call it, it is a great and easy way to make pillow cases. I have made several, and helped my 83 year old aunt make them too...

All of your pillowcases are darling!!! I've decided I might make a pillowcase with each quilt I make starting with the one I'm making now. We usually have plenty of leftovers when we finish a quilt even if we have to make a very small pillow just for one's head on the recliner!!

These are some of the pillowcases I have made using the hotdog/roll-up method. They're so much fun to make and are so quick to do.

I love your pillowcases and also how you displayed them. So clever!

Lovely!!! Will be going to the fabric store and choosing the fabics for my pillow cases soon. I am looking forward to making them.

Thank-you

I have a shop on Etsy where some of these are listed.

I LOVE THIS PATTERN. Makes up so easy, Looks so tailored. I've started making a pair to match all my quilts.
Everyone's getting a pair for Christmas -

I love making these up also., so many different designs come out of them. They all come out very pretty., and I am sure they are enjoyed by all.

I have done the hotdog method...very simple...no tutorial though....PM me if you think I could help

Here is one with prairie points!

I like to embroider so this tutorial might help me.

This is the one that I always rewatch when I go to make another one. Made travel size pillowcases with my grandchildren yesterday. Turned out so cute.

utube, missouri star quilt co tutorials. put pillowcase in the search box

could you give me the measurements for the travel size. I have made a couple but they are never quite right.

The children are sleeping and I can't get in their room tonight, but the main body was 17 inches in length and 27 inches wide. I will have to measure what size that I made the cuff tomorrow. The little trim piece was 2 inches wide before being folded in half. The little pillows were kind of plump. I can't remember where I picked them up. Seems like one of the big pharmacies. I will reply again or pm you tomorrow.

Thank you so much. I bought a couple in Walgreens for a very reasonable price and they are plump too.

love this utube !!

Ok, I made the first one with a 1 1/2" trim piece before being folded. The cuff can be about 6" wide before folding. The main body mentioned above is a good size. I made one with the 2 inch trim piece, but the one that I did a little smaller probably looks best. PM me if anything is not clear. I still like the tutorial on Missouri Quilt Co.

I found some cute dog fabric on clearance in Wal-Mart so I am going to do some for my daughter's family room. The kids will love them, thanks again.

Thanks for the link for the Sausage Pillowcase video. It's great!

I agree....I never even thought of cutting the edges...I will do that for my next one. it will really help as I find with out trimming the french seam is too thick.

They will turn out cute and they will love them.

Go on Youtube, look for sauceage pillowcase it shows you how to make them. I have made about 90 or so. They are EZ and come out great.
