We have a king sized bed and I hate paying the price for the pillowcases. We just bought another set of pillows and of course I only have 2 sets of sheets/pillowcases and needed more. I went shopping in my stash and came up with these. I have had the paisley fabric for years just because I love it, but no idea in mind for it until this past weekend.

Pillow cases are so easy and fast to make. I have made several of them for our bed as well. It's nice to change them out more often when you have a cold.

That decorative stitching really does it! It's great you had that in your stash!

I do the same as you. I do not pay for pillowcases. They are very expensive. What I do is I buy an extra sheet and do a lot of extra pillow cases. Yours look lovely with the fancy stitching.

I like that idea. I usually change my husband's twice a week because he sweats so bad and they smell. Never thought of buying an extra sheet. Thanks.

The stitches from your machine are such a wonderful touch

If you have a set of sheets that the full sheet is worn out...get rid of that and make extra pillowcases out of the odd flat sheet.

I really like your pillow cases with decorative trim.
My husband gave me the idea of buying an extra sheet to make
pillow cases to match several years ago.

Those look great! I love the decorative stitching. I made alot of pillowcases for Christmas gifts. Have a super easy pattern and you have different fabric for the outside edge. I loved making them!
