How to Make a Pillow Case

Make the pillowcase match whatever you would like in the room. Be as creative as you can........Kids love these for their room. I have put there names on in japanese before, they loved it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Fabric of choice, 1 yard
• Thread to match the fabric
• sewing Machine
• scissors
• measuring tape

1. First, lay the fabric out on a hard surface. Be sure that you iron the fabric. Washing the fabric is necessary for some.

2. Second, measure out two sections that are 20 1/2" x 30 1/2". Then put the two pieces of material together with the right sides facing each other.

3. Third, sew a 1/4" seam along three sides of the material. Leaving open the area that you would like to insert the pillow.

4. Fourth, sew a 1/2" seam around the fourth side to create a hem and prevent fraying. Turn the pillowcase right side out and iron.

5. You could do the majority of the pillow case in one type of fabric and the last few inches in a coordinating fabric. You could also add lace in that seam or some other decorative item.
