Fold a full or queen-size bed sheet in half length-wise. Iron the folded sheet flat and fold it in half again. Iron the folded sheet again. If you use fabric other than a sheet, it should be cut to the size of a full size sheet.

Sew the folded sheet down the long side and across one end using your sewing machine. This will give you a tube to fill for your pillow. Turn the pillow case right side out and so that the sewn edges are on the inside. You will have two layers of fabric on each side of where the pillow filling goes.
