Hello my name is BARB, Madame Samm saw these on PINTEREST, and called me to ask about the fabric and of course the pillowcase, which I am told she has made a few already .
I already had the tutorial done from another project, but it goes without saying this goes well with your theme this month of red. My store is in St. George Utah and it is called Quilted Works, if ever you are around please drop in and say HI!
We love having pillowcases to match our quilts! Here is a fun and easy tutorial that teaches you how to easily make a pretty pillowcase with an encased seam and french seams for the finished edges.

We love having pillowcases to match our quilts! Here is a fun and easy tutorial that teaches you how to easily make a pretty pillowcase with an encased seam and french seams for the finished edges.
Select 3 coordinating fabrics.
Yardage:
- 3/4 yard Main fabric
- 1/8 yard narrow Trim fabric
- 1/3 yard Hem fabric
Cut Main Fabric 25" x 40 ½"
Cut Trim Fabric 2 ½” x 40 ½”
Iron Trim piece in half with right sides out and raw edges together.
Cut Hem Fabric 12” x 40 ½”
Lay the Hem fabric with right side up, lay Trim fabric piece on top of Hem fabric.
Lay right side of Main fabric DOWN on top of Trim fabric.
Roll bottom of main fabric up until the bottom of the Hem fabric can be seen.
Fold the Hem fabric OVER the top of all layers. Pin everything in place.
Sew them all together with 1/4” seam.
Pull the pillowcase out from inside of the Hem fabric.
Press the fabrics flat.
Trim fabrics to make sure all edges are lined up and that they measure 40 ½” wide.
With right sides out, pin the seam to make sure the trim piece will be lined up.
Sew a seam slightly less than 1/4" seam along the sides and bottom.
Turn the pillow case wrong sides out.
Sew a 1/4" seam along the sides and bottom, making sure to back stitch at the beginning and end.
Now you have just created a very nice “French Seam.” The seam on the outside of your pillowcase looks just like a normal, finished seam, but its raw edges (underneath) have been encased in fabric for a finished look and to help protect them from fraying.
Turn pillow case right side out and ENJOY!
Look how darling it looks with a matching quilt!

In just over a year I have made 16 pillowcases. I use this same method that was distributed with the fabrics at my LQS and they are so much fun!! Thanks for putting the tut out there again. And thanks for the giveaway - always NEED more fabric for fancy cases.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillowcases... yet. But with this great tutorial, I am sure I will be making some soon! Thanks to everyone for the great giveaway prizes and the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOh, those ADORNit girls! Such cute things! Thanks so much for all of your generosity! I'd be thrilled to win any of the fabrics in this post!
ReplyDeleteMy husband was born with a heart defect - one that kids' cardiologists are most familiar with, so when he goes to the doctor, it's to the pediatric cardiologist - at the childrens' hospital - so every time we go, we take pillowcases and blankets - so last year, I made at least 60 pillowcases and at least 20 small quilts!
I use the method shown in the tutorial!
Happy Love Day!
I have yet to make any pillowcases but it is definitely on my to do list. They look easy and you can make them to fit any decor.
ReplyDeleteTruth be known, I've never made a pillow case, but from looking at these blogs I am inspired to make some for my girls. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI have made about 20 pillow cases using that method..They are so fast and easy..Love the heart fabric Barb used with LOVE YOU on the trim..
ReplyDeleteI have probably make at least a dozen pillowcases ... for all my nieces and nephews, MIL and FIL, DH and myself. This is the method I use too - they turn out great! Sometimes I make the accent strip narrower - cut at 1" so 1/4 in shows - or ricrac. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI use this method all the time. I do stitch the free end of the contrast trim down since it tends to get all rumpled in the washing machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! I haven't made any pillowcases - yet! :)
ReplyDeletei have made a few over the years not sure how many though and thankyou for the tutorial.xx
ReplyDeleteI've never made a pillow case, but I might try one with this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any bed pillowcases yet...have made a few for the couch though! Love the tute!
ReplyDeleteWe did this as a quilt guild activity and pumped out 73 in just a few hours! Once you get the hang of it, they're so easy and fast!!
ReplyDeleteTo date, hmmm, yup, none...LOL....but I sure would like to try it!!
ReplyDeleteBetween Daughter and me we have made about 25. All for various charitable causes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great tutorial.I've never made a pillowcase before but with such lovely help I'm sure I'll have some done in no time.
ReplyDeleteI have made approx. 15 pillowcases in my patchwork-time, and soon I have to make some more because we have ordered a brand new sofa for our livingroom. And that calls for new pillows! I will love to win those nice fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI'm sewing new pilows for every season, so it's time for the new :) So far there was about 10. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made pillow cases in over a year... Made over a half dozen in fall 2010...
ReplyDeleteI have never made a pillowcase and I'm definitely trying to make one with this tutorial! thanks so much for sharing it. I love this fabric line too.
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by your creativeness and looking forward to using your tutorial "sew I can make someone happy". How's that for a Blog? Probably already been used, but thank you "sew much".
ReplyDeleteI have made two using this method and plan on making lots more and the fabrics look lovely would love to make some with them so thank you lady's for the chance. :)
ReplyDeleteI've made a lonely little one!
ReplyDeleteBut I can't wait to try this method.
Love the fabric!
I too use this method. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow many have I made? LOL!! Hundreds, actually. I have 4 grandchildren 600 miles away. I send $ plus 2(mom and dad) for EVERY occasion! New Years eve, Valentine's St. Patrick's day, Easter.......for the past 5 years. This was such a hit that our quilt group has taken on the local Toys for Tots group and try to give a pillowcase to every child on their list. This is a great gift for all kinds of occasions.......sick friends,birthdays,kids sleepovers, kids birthday party favors.......
Great pic-torial, Barb! My girls and I have made dozens of these pillowcases using this method. We love to make them to match our quilts, or sometimes just because we find some great fabric. I made one for my carpenter husband from some fun woodworking novelty prints, along with matching jammie bottoms :).
ReplyDeleteI've taught this method for years to 4-H kids just learning to sew - the perfect project, and the kids love it! You can learn lots of skills on this simple project. And like ♥Duff, for a guild activity night we produced 40 or so to give to our local Women's center.
A matching pillowcase is also a great way to store quilts, and I've also used them to wrap a quilt as a gift.
While I'd LOVE to be able to say I'd made dozens of pillowcases, I have to say I've made... zero. It's never too late to start, however! I can't wait to make some!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the easy to follow tutorial. I can't wait to try it! Your fabric choices are great too!
ReplyDeleteive made 3 but i love seeing a blow by blow of this roll up method!
ReplyDeleteI must be truthful...I haven't made a pillowcase in over 30 years. The last set I made was when my husband and I attended Lamaze classes for our second child. I do have good intentions though, and feel very inspired by this great tutorial! Be blessed! And thanks for the opportunity to win great prizes!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great, easy way to make pillow cases. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made pillowcases for a long time. Thanks for the tutorial. I will be using the french seam next time.
ReplyDeleteI have made 30+ pillow cases in the last two months. My obsession started with my cousin, who was in the hospital with leukemia. I saw a kit at our craft warehouse of hunky men. I thought it would cheer her up! Since she is a little sassy, I made her a "Maxine" pillowcase as well. Then, I was off and running. I must say that there is something special about "Adornit" fabric. I love it! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have only made three pillowcases so far. The Nana loves hers! :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillowcases yet, but I've bought fabric for about 20! Need to get busy! Thanks for the great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI have made 6 sew far and would love to make a few more with those lovely fabrics ...... or some of my own if i do not win. Great tut on the pillow case, it is an easy one to wip up. thanks for sharing and having a give away

So far, I've made 7 or 8 pillowcases using this same technique. Two were for my son ( 36 years old), made with Dr Seuss fabric and the others from patriotic fabric for Quilts Of Valor. Thanks so much for a chance to win. All of the tutorials are so helpful and even if you've been quilting for a long time, there's always something new to learn. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. I haven't made any pillowcases but would love to get started by winning your giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great tutorial! I think I've made probably about a dozen pillowcases but never this kind. This tute makes it looks very easy and I will have to give it a try. I like the idea of a pillowcase with a quilt.
ReplyDeleteUrsula

Great tutorial. I have to give these a try!
ReplyDeleteI have made no pillowcases using this technique. But I have made little dresses with a band around the bottom using this technique.
ReplyDeleteI really really like the result. One was done just this way. One was modified so that the band was more finished inside than French seam allows. The rest of the skirt does have French seam.
Great approach!
I had seen this way of making pillowcases before but never had made any. However, just might make a couple if I win anything. Thank you all for this opportunity.

I've never made pillowcases before but I'd love to have a go!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Happy Valentines Day!! I love making pillowcases. This tutorial is great. Thanks for sharing and for the great giveaways. Very pretty fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI use to sew pillowcases, when someone need one I sew one, pice of cake ☺

I like to QuiltBlog
I have only made two pillowcases at Christmas for my nephews! Thank you so sew much for the tutorial and i love the these and will make some more! thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Barb and the ladies at Adornit....wellllll love is certainly in the air, and yes many pillowcases in the near future too...May the love carry you through this day and all those to follow..thanks for being part of our special day...all of you..
ReplyDeleteI have made 5 pillowcases so far. Thanks for the tutorial and the generous prizes!
ReplyDeleteI have made 7 as thanksgiving favors one year. But not with this method which is so much better. I've tried to understand the French seam directions on other blogs and never could quite figure it out. This, on the other hand, is a great tute and I get it. Thanks to all! I'll be making several more!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! I've made over 50 pillowcases for kids with cancer and over 20 for Quilts of Valor for the wounded soldiers! Then there are those for friends and family! I love making them! Your tut is great - no question the best I've seen! Thanks for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteI've only made four pillowcases thus far, but I am looking forward to more that will match some quilts I'm finishing up.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Adornit for the lovely fabrics for the giveaway and thanks to Mdm Samm for managing to keep the blog looking lovely while taking classes.
Love those fabrics sew much.
I've only sewn one pillowcase. I was surprised how easy it was, even though it wasn't this method. I'll try it next.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillowcases yet, but I sure would like to! This looks like a fun and easy way to do it - thanks for the great tutorial and for the chance to win, too!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a pillowcase, but now I'm inspired. I love the Adornit fabric. Thank you for the great tutorial, they look sew easy. I think I have my work cut out for me. A pillowcase would be perfect to give with a quilt, it would match and could be used to keep the quilt folded up in. Happy Valentine's Day!!!!! ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't sewn a pillowcase since I was a little girl and that was most of what I sewed- I didn't know how to make anything else. But mine were not this fancy.
I have made 3 using this same method. They always turn out so cute! The fabric is lovely... my birthday is Valentines Day... so maybe I get an extra point?!?! haha!
ReplyDeleteOur quilt guild is making quilts for Project Linus. I'm going to suggest we make pillow cases also. Made some with this method for Christmas presents this year. fast and easy gift.
ReplyDeleteI have made 8, fun and easy! I made 5, one each of my adult kids this christmas. I used Christmas fabric and put a new pillow inside. They got them at thanksgiving to use during the holiday season while chillin on the couch.
ReplyDeleteI hadn´t made any pillow case.I´d love to try one.Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI've made eight pillowcases - they make fabulous gifts. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb and Madame Samm...Barb thank you for the pattern and I have printed it out and will make some when I get a sewing machine. I cannot believe you make it seem so easy. Madame Samm and Adornit thank you for all you continue to do for our quilting community....You make it even more fun to be a quilter or right now a quilter in waiting....Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI've made about 30 pillowcases! They seem to be a hit with teenagers! Thanks for the giveaway, the fabric is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillow cases yet, although I have been thinking about making some. Thanks to the tutorial I will be sewing up some pillow cases.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm not sure how many I've made -- about 2 dozen I would guess. With sailboat blueprint fabric for my boat building brother, fish for the fisherman's cottage, and lots of novelty for the little ones. I've only made them with the single border, though, not the added trim, so thanks for this tutorial -- they are so much nicer the way that Barb makes them, this will be my new go-to!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I love pretty bright pillowcases! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteMy sewing group of four, The Golden Girls, has made over 125 pillowcases for ConKerr, A Case for Smiles. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway. I would certainly put them to good use. Judy C
ReplyDeleteMadame Samm please do not count this one but I forgot to say that I have made pillowcases for a charity project over at "All people Quilt" and I know I made at least 20 but may be a few more but at least that amount...thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI have been making pillow cases for our local human services department for kids being placed in care. I have no idea how many I have made. Probably over two hundred. I have also made about fifteen for family and friends and have taught a class on how to make them at my church.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for this pattern
ReplyDeleteIt looks easy! I haven't made any, but I bet I could with such a great tutorial! Thank you for the tut and great giveaways!!!
ReplyDeletemaybe half a dozen but the fabric just gets cuter and cuter. I see a serious addiction starting and I shall never buy another pillow case!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tutorial! I have not made pillowcases yet but they are on my list. This is a great tutorial and I am saving it for sure. It will be fun to make some pillowcases for my grandkids and for me! Thank you sew much.
ReplyDeleteI've only made a few pillow cases over the years but I feel a lovely set of them coming on for Christmas this year. Love the Adornit ladies and their fabrics.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I have made a pillowcase. My kids love them. They get so soft with a few washings. Thanks for the tute. Love the idea of making a Valentines one.
ReplyDeleteGreat pillowcases!Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI have never yet made a pillowcase, but I am now very inspired to make one! Maybe even tisi evening!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! I have made about 8 pillowcases so far. I place the matching quilt inside the pillowcase and tie it up to give as a gift. Saves on paper and it's a great presentation. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a pillowcase but this fabulous tutorial, which I have printed off, sure makes it look like it would be easy. My grandkids might be getting some spring pillowcases in their Easter baskets.
ReplyDeletelsandes@comcast.net
I wish I had had this tut last November when I started making pillowcases for my 18 grandchildren. They each got one made especially for them with their names on them. Our 'foster' grandchildren also got one for a total of 25. This year I have made 3. I hope to make more for the grandchildren this year.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great tutorial. I haven't made any pillow cases yet, but after seeing this, I'm feeling inspired. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics. Have only made quilts never pillowcases but thanks for the tutorial on how! Thanks too for chance to win. Rhonda (address marshudson at comcast dot net)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have to add pillow cases to my list for my boys!!
ReplyDeletejenn.barclay@gmail.com
I have made four so far...and my son keeps picking out new fabrics for new pillowcases. I do want to try this tutorial as I think it is better than the pattern I used. Thanks so much for the give away..and Happy Valentine's Day!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great fabrics. Thank you for the opportunity and for the tutorial. I've been wanting to make pillowcases to take to our local homeless shelter.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics. Thank you for the tutorial and the giveaway ADORNit.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a wonderful tutorial. I wish I had had it when I learned this procedure.
ReplyDeleteI have made many pc's, most of them go to the families we adopt for Christmas and for the walk in adoptees at the agency in the inner city.
I love this fabric.
Thanks,
PK
I have made 1 pillowcase as a Christmas gift sack. I just discovered how to make pillowcases this way at Christmas. Love it! Thank you to all involved in this giveaway. Great tutorial.
ReplyDeleteOoh la la! French seams sound divine! Will be trying this soon!
ReplyDeleteOur Guild has held a sew-in at the January meeting for a few years and this year we sewed pillowcases. I've sewed 11 for Guild, and 20 for family, always giving a matching pair when giving a quilt to each son & daughter.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any yet, but looking at this tutorial makes me want to make at least two for every quilt I have!
ReplyDeleteI have not made any pillowcases yet. The fabric selection is great. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Hurray for a fabulous tutorial! My dh and I were just chatting about new pillow cases and wa la...a tutorial! ((HUGS)) and...Love the chance to win beautiful fabric! Have a beautiful week! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven'tmade any pillowcases yet, but see some in my future. I am just binding a boy's quilt to donate and I will make a pillowcase to go with it. Looks so easy and fun. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've lost count of the number of pillowcases I've made over the years! Great fun and thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI make pillow cases for my Grandson now that he is old enough to appreciate them. I've been known to use a special pillow case as wrapping for his other gifts at Christmas time. I've also made and donated many cases to Conquer Cancer. They are so much fun to make.
ReplyDeleteI've made 3 of these for my little valentines this year! They are so cute. Thanks for the fun blog and giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have made 3 - but am feeling the need to replace all the worn ones in the closet with something fun!
ReplyDeleteQuilted Works is my favorite quilt store--so fun to see them featured here! They've done beautiful work on long-arm quilting my quilts and their staff is so nice (and fun.) This tutorial was great!
ReplyDeleteI have made one pillowcase and it wasn't that easy. I will definitely be using this tutorial and try again. Thanks for the nice tutorial and giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love to make pillowcases, have lost count tho! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb...Thank you for taking the time to share your tutorial with us. I have made hundreds of pillow cases over the last 5 years...yes hundreds and now when I gift a bed size quilt I like to include a matching set of pillowcases. Happy Valentines Day...(o:
ReplyDeleteI've never made one, I'm just really learning to sew. I just made my daughter who turned 2 yesterday a heart themed quilt (I just watched alot of You Tube videos to learn how to quilt!) These pillowcases would match great with it!
ReplyDeleteI just made my first pillowcase as part of a donation project. It is crazy how this method works to keep from having any raw edges. And it is so easy to do!
ReplyDeleteWe travel a lot -- what a great gift for the kids for a special trip!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this tutorial! This will be my first time making pillow cases. I plan to make them to match the quilt I'm currently making for my daughter (my first one). I love the fabrics in the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing great tutorials! Love "Adornit"! I've never made a pillow case-maybe I'll start !
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I made pillowcases for my kids when they were little, but mine weren't very simple and plain compared to these! Thanks for the great opportunity to win a kit!
ReplyDeleteI have made pillowcases before but never with this method. It sure looks interesting and I like the fact that the seams are enclosed. I am definitely going to try using this tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such easy directions.
I feel the love! This is the way I make pillowcases. I really like this method. I haven't counted but I am so lucky to have a granddaughter to make holiday cases for.
ReplyDeleteNot a single one, but I always wanted to learn how to make french seams! Momma always used to say they were the best.
ReplyDeleteI've made about 10 sew far with plans to make more. They make great gifts. :^)
ReplyDeleteI've made about a dozen pillowcases using this same method. Some for my grandchildren and some for charity.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillows and if win, can see attempting this very tutorial as like the idea of encased seams (and learning to make French Seams). Thanks for that chance, and to AdornIt and Barb.
ReplyDeleteI have made one pillowcase using this technique...it was sew easy...will be making more....thank you for the giveaway..
ReplyDeleteI've made a lot of pillowcases using this method. It is so easy. Along with my local quilting group, I make pillowcases for ConKerr Cancer. They give the pillowcases to children in hospitals. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThis may be the best pillow tutorial I've ever seen. And I love Adornit fabrics!! Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been sewing only since January of this year but my first project did have a pillow case was about to say 0 but I did 1.
ReplyDeletehttp://richardquilts.blogspot.com
Stop by for my quilt givaway to guess my babys b-day and weight.
I have made 2 pillowcases so far. One, using this pattern, only bigger was for a large body pillow. Next one is for Grand daughters bd next month. Would love to win.
ReplyDeleteI have made several cases for my grands! Would love to win this give away
ReplyDeleteAt our guild retreat last spring we had a class on this method and we all fell in love with it. How many did we make? Oh my, probably 50! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI have dropped by Barb's and Linda's blog and said hi.
ReplyDeleteI have put this tutorial in my queue for St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Easter, 4th July, Halloween and Christmas/
I've made 6 pillowcases so far. I am planning on making more this weekend. My Daughter has been reminding me that I owe her a matching pillowcase for the quilt I made over a year ago.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillow cases yet but I gave my sister a fantastic pattern and she made dozens!!
ReplyDeleteI've made one. This post inspires me to make some more! Happy valentines day!
ReplyDeleteVery nice tute! I love making pillowcases not only to go with quilts, but for all the holidays and celebrations too. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI have made two pillowcases to date, but not with the tutorial method given. I am going to try this method because my seams unraveled after washing. Thanks for the tutorial. brendatexan@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have made 1 pillowcase so far using these instructions. Plan to make many more to give to family, friends, or people in need. I love 'sewwequilt'. Thanks for all you do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI have never made any pillowcase before and I'm definitely trying to make one with this tutorial!
I've not made any pillowcases, but after this tutorial, I've got to try it! Thanks for the tutorial and the giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your tutorial. I have made pillowcases before, but never with a french seam. I am going to try it. Thank you for the giveaway. I hope I am a lucky one.
ReplyDeleteI've made three and have a few more waiting to be made. I enjoy coordinating colors and giving a gift that is useful too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillowcases, beautiful fabrics. I have made two but I see more in my future. Thank you to Barb and Adornit!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any pillowcases for years now. With a win, I could change that, though.
ReplyDeleteI've made a couple dozen pillowcases.
ReplyDeleteThose sets are so cute. I'd love to see them on my bed.
I've made two pillowcases with fabric bought to do many more. My kids love them as much as I do. Would be so excited to her this fabric.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about making pillow cases, but will now put it on my list.
ReplyDeleteI made one the old fashioned way and once I caught hold of how to do the "hot dog" method, I made two more. However, I have to say this was the BEST visual tutorial I've seen!! Great job, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Gmama Jane
I have made about a dozen pillowcases. Thanks, Barb, for the great tutorial. You have made the instructions very easy to understand. And thanks to Adornit for the cute fabric.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great giveaway....would feel so blessed to win! I've made over a dozen pillowcases...and have seven more in the works. I love making my own cases. Great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLost count but must be 50 or so....Great tutorial - wonderfully done!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice tute. I've done several. Great giveaway. dollartistcarla at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial! Haven't made a pillowcase yet, but this has given me the inspiration to try. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a easy Pillow Case Tut. I Love French Seams, and I Love your Sewing Machine!!! I haven't made any Pillowcases but I have made several Pillowcase Dresses for my Granddaughter. With this tut, I can now make her Nightgowns with matching Pillowcases. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteHuggs, Nancy
I love it and am so excited to have won! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI have never even considered making a pillow case---until now! Thanks for the tutorial AND the chance to have that amazing fabric. I love that it has a creamy background instead of stark white!
ReplyDeleteI"D LOVE TO MAKE SOME-I never have before.
ReplyDeleteI made my first pillow case last year. I had a blast making it! My plan is to make some as gifts for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the amazing giveaway!
I haven't made pillowcases before but I think I will try this! Thanks for the great tutorial. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful tutorial! I haven't made any pillowcases this year yet but made several last year.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for your clear, easy photo tutorial for the pillow cases! I have a lot of quilt fabric left, and I need fresh cotton pillowcases for myself; I really think my grandchildren would enjoy their very own, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing,
