THank you, Jill. Your instructions are excellent. I did understand that it is the pillow on your bed. Step 1 was the only thing I was confused about, obviously the flap is not a standard here in the States, as attested by a couple other members. So, I think I will just use a piece of scrap. Thank you again for the instructions. They sell those kinds of bags here. I have been wanting to try to make them, but haven't. Now I have got directions, it will be a lot easier for me than trying to figure it out myself :)

I think that for me - a pillow is a long rectangle that goes under your head on the bed when you sleep - but I know in some places the square cushions used on chairs and sofas are also called pillows - so maybe there's some confusion there?
Anyway - if your pillow case doesn't have a 'flap' you can just use a scrap of material for the pocket!
Please do let me know if you have any more problems - I'm always trying to make my patterns better and easier to follow!
