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.
