1st off, here is a web sight, a member of this group, sent me for the pillowcases operation, and my address. There is NO TIME FRAME, for them. http://operationsupportfordeployedmi...illowcases.php and my name-etc,etc. Please send PM for address

1-peice-9"wide, length of material-42-45"--&-1 peice 42-45 wide, and 27'' long

The 9" peice is on the bottom face up, and the 42-45 wide peice(27"long), is layed on top of the 9" peice. I sew the 2 peices together

I roll the 27" peice to the top(near the top) of the 9" peice. And grab the bottom of the (9" peice), and sew the bottom of the 9" peice to the top of the 9" peice, with the rolled 27" in between

This is what it will look like, after being rolled up, and sewed.

After being sewed together,(like a hotdog&bun).The center will be pulled out. And then all that has to be done, is sew the bottom, and the side, and if I did this right, should have apillow case. After sewing the bottom, and side, then do a zig-zag stitch, and your done.

After the border is sewn and pulled out from the hot dog casing, I was taught to sew the sides and bottom together on the right side first. Then turn the pillowcase inside out and sew the sides and bottom together again. That way the seams are all enclosed.
