Pillowcases

Have you ever wanted to make a pillowcase, but weren't sure of the measurements.?? I recently needed to make a travel size pillow, but couldn't find measurements anywhere, so I guessed. Lucky my guess was right.

You need 16x30 rectangle of the body of the pillowcase fabric.
9x30 rectangle for the heading.

I use piping on my pillowcase where the head and the body are sewn together.

To make a standard size pillowcase, you will need :
27'x42' for the body.
9'x42' for the heading .
42' of piping.

Queen and King size pillowcases:

36'x 42 for the body
9'x42 for the heading.
42' of piping.

If you would rather use a piece of fabric instead of piping, this would be cut at 2 1/2' x 42. Folded in half, and sewn the same as the piping would be.

These are great fun to make, and so easy..
