Hi Jenniffer, this is Carlos, in San José, Costa Rica. I have sewn myself already several sets of pillowcases following your instructions. However I hadn't taken the time to thank you for sharing these instructions. Additionally, I want to mention that you easily transmit peace of heart. And, sometimes, when I feel a bit more sensitive, my eyes get a bit wet when you talk about making the difference in other people's life with warm details. What would this world be like if *all* humans had a tenth of your warmth in their hearts?
Thank you very much for your kind words, Carlos. We're happy that this project has inspired you. Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! -Michelle
I need to tell you that it is such a pleasure watching your videos not only do you keep you instruction very understandable but I love the clarity of your voice - and the fact that you keep your nails plain and jewelry simple - this I find very much a distraction in others videos. Just finishing up a quilt for a relative of mine and wanted to re-watch you pillow case video as I have never done a French seam before. Little did I know that I was going to need some Kleenex when watching - the time in the video is 15:38 - The Power of a Gift - your emotion and compassion is unbeatable - I was in tears - I have decided that I am going to make a pillow case a month and every couple of months I am going to take them somewhere - such as a shelter or hospital where they will be very much appreciated. Thank you for giving me this idea - I think it is terrific. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next video.
Wow, thank you so much for your heartfelt comment, Patricia! We love making videos and know that people like you are watching. The gift of sewing or quilting for someone in need is so special and we love highlighting that! Thank you again for watching and for your extreme kindness!
Very nice tutorial. I can't wait to try this. You were so right when you commented on never underestimate the power of the love that goes along with a homemade gift.
Thank you for watching! Let us know how yours turn out! - Morgan
Love this tutorial. It's fun making pillowcases and this is a new one for me. Can't wait to get started on some for my grandchildren. It's also a great way to use up scraps. When I buy fabric for quilts I always buy too much and this is a way to make use of the leftovers as well as making matching pillowcases for the quilts. I'm 69 years old and have been sewing since I was 11. Isn't it wonderful to still learn at my age? Thank you!
That is so great to hear Whimsical Heart! Thank you so much for the kind comment. We are so glad to know that we have something interesting to teach even after all of your years of sewing!
Wow awesome folding of fabric to sew all 3 layers together at one time.
Isn't it such a fun technique? Let us know if you give it a try and how it works for you! - Morgan
I have watched many tutorials on this type of pillow case. Yours has been one of the easiest to follow. I love the 3x9=27 reference to remember the fabric sizes you need. The use of French seams in this project is perfect...no fray. Worth the couple extra minutes. Your tutorial was excellent. Your very good in front of the camera. I will subscribe. Hope to see more good things. Thank you
Thank you so much for your comment and kind words Mic Kline! So glad to hear that you subscribed! Stay tuned for more tutorials from us!

These fabrics are so sweet!! Our local hospital collects pillowcases, made this way, for their pediatric patients! As you say, there are many places that could use these pillowcases to cheer someone up :-) You mentioned shelters for women & children; often the children have nothing with them or anything to carry what they do have; a sweet, fun pillowcase can also be used to carry what they have. Such a lovely way to tell them that someone DOES care about them! thank you for sharing how to make these pillowcases!
What a lovely way to show people you care +Ellen Helms! Thank you so much for sharing this kind comment and thank you for taking the time to watch our tutorial!
Thanks for this great tutorial! I wanted pillowcases for my European pillows but they seemed expensive and not available at stores in my area. I adjusted the size for the main piece to 26" x 52" (the width is 26" folded). It worked out beautifully. I used organic cotton flat sheets and made 6 beautiful pillowcases for under $20! I also loved your idea for making these for gifts and for shelters. Thanks again!
That is so awesome! The savings of making things for yourself is amazing! So glad this tutorial helped you :)
This is a very old method that my great grandmother showed me, french seams and all but we had to do it with hand sewing. But I like a flange to tuck my pillow right in with nothing showing but the material! Its gorgeous though, thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for watching Tina Wemyss! We love the way French seams hide all of the raw edges!
***** made mine last night and yes, i put the extra in to fold the pillow in and voila, done and got a great reply from the grandson. He said Grandma, you are amazing! And I said no, thank Shabby Fabrics so thank you, you are amazing how you come up with these lovely ideas!!!!
We are so, so glad to hear the response from your grandson was so positive Tina Wemyss! No need to thank us- we are just here to help!!
You are the person that took the time to do step by step and all of your good comments. Thank you very much
We are very happy you enjoy this fun project, Monica. Thanks for watching! -Michelle
I've made so many log cabin quilts, with leftovers, of course. Though the strips are 2-1/2 inches wide, I'm planning on using them for the "flange" trim. I agree with Jennifer: "whomever came up with this idea for making pillowcases is a genius." Thanks for the tutorial and showing me how to do a French seam. My 1st stop at your TH-cam videos and I'm glad I did. :-) I'm also a strong believer in pinning.
+Susan Allen thank you so, so much for watching our videos and taking the time to comment! Glad we were able to help you learn how to do a French Seam!
I love this pattern, and I love all Jennifer Bosworth's tutorials! I've made several of these, and even added my grandkids names embroidered on the cuff... that extra touch made them extra special. Thank you Jennifer, for your awesome projects!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It is so awesome that you have made several of these and added the special detail of the embroidered names!
even though the video says a great gift from a grandmother or aunt..maybe Ill make a pair for for my girlfriend. By the way..mine are stone washed demin with a light brown leather trim. I made the 27" piece in two parts so the back of my pillowcase is a soft cotton ticking pattern. That way I can sleep on the soft side rather than denim and yet have the denim for a camper bed accent pillow.
The stone washed denim with leather trim sounds awesome Rick Farrow! It was a great idea to have a soft and a decorative side! So glad you liked the tutorial- thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment!
Rick Farrow
Genius project!
Your girlfriend is a lucky girl.
Rick Farrow - It’s years later, I know. Any chance you could post a photo of your brilliant pillow idea? The denim/leather/ticking must look just fabulous together!
KElaine Marie
Wow Rick, great idea.gonna try that ! Thank You for sharing. I really like how she explained everything, step by step. Also the camera shots were great too!
I have watched many many many videos on this pillow case yet somehow struggled with the measurements. I finally got it with your 3,9,27 and the 27 by width of fabric. I don’t know why it was so hard to get BUT right away your approach worked for me. No more struggle. It’s like why didn’t I get it. The up front numbers really helped.
We're glad this tutorial has been successful for you. You can also find the measurements for different sized pillowcases on our Free Download guide here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/416/how-to-make-a-magic-pillowcase Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
I have watched so many videos on the tube pillow method. This one, by far, is the best one I have seen! Thank you for sharing
Yay! That is awesome to hear :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this informative tutorial. I have 10 grandchildren and 2 greats. Can't promise they will all be getting them for Christmas but they have birthdays coming up too. Can't wait to get started!
Hi Barbara,
That is music to our ears! Your grandchildren and great grandchildren are very lucky to have a loving and caring Grandma who enjoys sewing for them! I wish you a very Merry and Blessed Christmas,
Jennifer and everyone at Shabby Fabrics
I have been using this method for years. It does make excellent specialty gifts to give to that person who you can't figure out what to get them!
Thank you for watching! Let us know how yours turn out! - Morgan
Just an after note .... if you press the ⅛" seam to one side prior to turning pillowcase right sides together it makes the final step of the french seam much easier.
That is a great tip! We love helpful hints like this :) Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial. Thank you. I often use a chopstick to make the corner come out completely

My 5 year old granddaughter and I made one of these over Christmas. It was a great beginner project she selected the fabrics from my stash.
That is so sweet! I'm sure she loved it! We love these pillowcases! ~Leah
Here I am again watching you make the magic pillow cases. My grandchildren, my husband and my adult children all love the specially made pillowcases. Thank you for teaching me!
This is a very popular project that is so fun to do with family and friends! Happy that you love it and thanks for your comment! - Abby
awesome!!!! you have a great way of doing tutorials. thank you so much. You are right small gestures can make a dismal heart a lot brighter.
Thank YOU so much for watching and for leaving such a kind comment!
I am a “show me” learner. This is a wonderful tutorial. Thanks!
So glad you found it helpful! - Morgan
I've made several of these...they are fun to make. I first saw a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt Company and also on The Crafty Gemini. Thanks for sharing your tutorial...love the fabrics you used.
Thank you so much for watching +Betty Townsend! We love this technique!
My mother used to make this kind of pillow case when we were kids. Your tutorial brought back a lot of good memories! thanks for the clear directions. I think I need to go make one for my mom!
+Craft Genie this technique has been around for so long- it is sweet that it reminds you of your mom! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
I love your tutorials. I think I finally graduated making French seams. I say a beautiful purse so that’s the next project. My sewing club is making pillowcases for the kids in the hospital
That is wonderful news! We're glad this project has inspired you!! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you for the great tutorial. I understand the process now. Thank you so much...
Thank you for watching! Let us know how yours turn out! - Morgan
This is a great tutorial, thank you! I have made several of these before and I always tried to sew an 1/8th of an inch instead of doing the 1/4 and trimming it down, WOW, that makes so much more sense!! lol thank you!! One other thing I do is go ahead and do a top stitch on the trim to keep if from turning upward after it is washed, makes it look a little better and it doesn't take long, just sew it down before you sew the sides together. Thanks again, I loved this tutorial.
Sharon
Hi Sharon,
That is a great idea about the top stitch on the trim! Thank you for sharing that. There is always so much we can learn from each other. Thanks for watching the TH-cam tutorial and taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you have a blessed holiday season, Jennifer
***** Thank you Jennifer, you too.
Sharon
When you say you added a top stitch to the trim,
do you mean you put stitching on the trim at the bottom, only on the trim -
or do you top stitch the bottom of the trim to the pillowcase body? I’m confused. Thanks.
Very very clear and slow instructions thank you so much and I really try this out!!!
Such nice clear instructions. The best I have seen.
Thank you for watching! Let us know how yours turn out! - Morgan
Long time seamstress here. What a wonderful idea- so excited to do this project with my two granddaughters, thank you so much for this video‼️🥰
We're happy you enjoy this fun project and we're glad you'll be creating lasting memories with treasured family. Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you for showing the trim piece on the case. I used this trick on several outfits for my granddaughter. I made a couple of pillow case dresses. Super easy and no real seams 🤗
That's so cute that you made pillowcase dresses! We had no idea this method worked so well for so many things! Thank you for watching and letting us know about your experience with the construction. Happy sewing! - Morgan
Awesome thankyou for sharing that, I'd made one b4 but couldn't remember how...ps thankyou also for sharing about using our gifts to bless others...my friend put it like this "don't be a pond, be a stream " :)
Thank you for watching!! We love your friend's quote! - Morgan
I made a small quilt and a pillow case customizing it for my two year old grandson.. The quilt is full of trucks I drew and appliqued. I did some light quilting too, its a very artsy boyish quilt he loves cars and trucks. I had left over fabric and I thought I would make a pillow case. I was delighted when I found the tutorial. I watched this concise tutorial over and over again as I was too absorbed sewing and cursing out my sewing machine, to change the tutorial==.( fabric ,threads curses all flying in the air) the directions were burned into my brain cells. I had trouble making the pillow case because I had to piece it and some of the fabric was cut on the bias causing some stretching however I am pleased with the results. Since I switch from right to left handed easily, I am frequently confused by directional instructions. A visual aid namely your tutorial was a gift!
We loved your story of making a pillowcase, and that quilt you made your grandson sounds so special - the pillowcase, too! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your story! - Morgan
I just subscribed and absolutely love your tutorials. Excellent presentation. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! - Morgan
Jennifer, your voice, personality and kindness for others is wonderful. I have been making these great pillowcases for years.....like you I don't know who came up with the pattern. Your video is outstanding. Even though I knew how to do this project you captured my attention. Thank you. Yes I did subscribe!
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind comment Mary Furr, and thank you so much for taking the time to subscribe to our channel!
I have just been watching your tutorial and I must tell you how much I enjoyed watching. You are such a happy, cheerful person and quite lifted my day! Thank you
That is awesome to hear, Rose! Thank you so much for watching and for being a part of Team Shabby :)
I got my idea from Jenny at Missouri Star Quilt Company. I have made over 500 pillow cases for the local children's hospital
wow!
You are great!
Wow that is certainly amazing, well done xx
Great!! So nice.
I bet you can sew pillow cases in the dark! God bless you!
love the technique ,Its so wonderful that you brought up the fact , how doing good things to help people in the community, or just people in need Thank you, (your a blessing)
Thank you for watching! You are so sweet! ~Leah
You are a breath of fresh air. You explained the process so well without extra bs talk
Thank you so much for watching and so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! :) Let us know how your project goes. - Morgan
Thank 's for your Tutorial Video of Pillow Case.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
This is awesome. I am trying to figure out which side to embroider on the cuff, such as the child's name. I need the embroidery, obviously, to end up being on the outside of the cuff. What a cute gift this would be for a child's party, with the toy inside the pillowcase, using it as a gift bag.
Marguerite Farrell - We love the idea of the child's gift being in the pillowcase! We haven't tried the embroidery before so perhaps you could use some inexpensive muslin to mark and figure out the proper orientation so the letters look just like you want them to once the pillowcase is sewn together. Thank you for watching!
Yes, I will. I saw the gift bag idea somewhere online. Don't remember where, but it is a good idea.
I loved this! In the UK, every pillowcase has an inside cuff to tuck over and hide the pillow!! All my Canadian pillowcases I brought over are like this though 😊, still have some from those first days 45 years ago. I love watching and listening to your tutorials, and seeing all your wonderful fabric choices, wish I lived on the same continent 😢. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment Elizabeth! I've passed on the idea of adding a cuff to these to Jen, so if we make a new video tutorial we might be able to include that. :) Wishing we lived on the same continent, too.
Shabby Fabrics thank you! It does hide the pillow well, I eventually got to like the British way😂. I still love this method though. I do have a British easy pillowcase but not as good as this. Great to get refreshed on french seams too, definitely nicer! X
Shabby Fabrics I have seen one by Laura of Sew Very Easy! She adds the inside cuff. I do prefer your cutting/method/ French seams but it is worth making that cuff! Your version would be great! X
My girlfriend has been making this type of pillowcase for several years.(sorry, it wasn't from you.) But I knew you had the directions because of your title of the project. This is so great. Now I know what I can use all my extra flat sheets for.
Hello! Thank you for watching! That is such a good idea! Stay safe and happy sewing! ~Leah
What a great gift idea! What a wonderful thing to sew for a loved on in a hospital bed...something made with love to have close to them.
We agree. It's the little things like this that can make all the difference to loved ones and strangers. Why not share our gifts with those who need them?
J u have inspired me to make this for my mil just went into nursing home last week. Your beautiful words of bringing comfort to someone in need with a kind gesture has touched me . I Have stopped quilting during this difficult time but I’m gonna take out my “brother”tomorrow and make a thanksgiving pillowcase for her. I have everything I need. Thank you and God bless you. The timing of seeing this video is just what i needed ❤
Your explanation is very simple, thank you so much
Thank you for watching! ~Leah
I enjoyed watching this video. I never knew you can do this idea in pillowcases because I do it for drapery which has headers. This a unique way for the cases too. Thanks for sharing. Bless you love.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment +diana diamond!
You're welcome Shabby Fabrics. Keep up the good work. I'll be keeping in touch. I'll certainly be trying that pillow case.
Thank you Jennifer ... great tutorial - love the French seams.
Thank you for watching! Happy you love the seams as much as we do!
Thank you so much for you fast answer. I checked out all the fabrics you offer and they are lovely, but there is just nothing like that gingerbread fabric. I love that one. Too bad you don't offer it anymore.
You are so right, it was a very cute fabric Gabi Stöver!! Cute fabrics are always the first to go!
When preparing the French seam, i like to press this seam by opening the pillowcase and using a sleeve board on the side seam just press the seam to one side as far as the sleeve board will allow. It takes a little longer but makes the side seam very crisp when you pin and sew. It certainly isn't necessary but that's what I do. I love this video and how easily it comes together. Thanks so much for doing this for everyone.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing that tip with us and others who are watching the video! That's very helpful and we're big fans of processes that make the projects turn out even better even if it takes a bit longer. Please keep sharing with us, we love it!
What a fabulous tutorial. Can hardly believe how this works. Love your forward thinking about gifts for shelters. Well done to you and many thanks
+Patricia Ridley I'm so glad you liked making the pillowcase. They are so much fun to make and make wonderful holidays gifts. I have even heard of ladies making a pillowcase and then putting a gift inside of that and using the pillowcase like gift wrap - two gifts in one! Bless you - Jennifer
Ohmygoodness! This is wonderful! Can't wait to make it! From Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺.
We are very glad you enjoy this fun project. Please let us know how it goes for you! Thanks for watching 💖💖💖 -Michelle
Loved your French pillow tutorial. Thank you. 🌸😊
Happy that you enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks for your comment and support!😊💐 - Abby
Great idea, sure makes it look neat on the inside.... Your a very relaxed teacher....thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching our video!
Jennifer...your kind soul shines through your video. You are so correct - a gift - no matter how small...it is the thought that REALLY counts, especially to someone "in need" in some way. Thank you for your excellent tutorial! Merry Christmas! Danielle
Thank you for such a kind comment, Danielle! I can tell you, working with Jennifer day-to-day, she is such a kind and caring person. It's so important to show love and kindness to those around us. Merry Christmas to you, too! - Morgan
I seem to be late with many of your tutorials but that’s ok. You haven’t changed your style - always helpful and beautiful fabric choices. I watched this just to see what else you could teach me. Now, I’m going to make two as a surprise for my grandchildren and help them make 2 as Christmas surprise for their dad - my son.
So glad you're here and enjoying the tutorials! These pillowcases are so much fun to make. Let me know how your projects go, and if you want to, we'd love to see pictures of the pillowcases the kids make for their dad! That's such a fun Christmas present idea.
Excellent tutorial and loved the instructions for the french seam. I was so disappointed that you didn't show a close up of the finished french seam!!!! The anticipation of the finished seam and no close up, so will google it to see what they look like. Keep up the great work, just love watching how you meticulously create quilts, towels, etc. Thank you so much for your videos.
Thank you for letting us know! This was one of our earlier videos and we've learned a lot about showing everything since then. ;) French seams are lovely, they're definitely worth the extra time! Let us know how your pillowcases turn out.
Never too old for a little magic! Thanks!
We agree!! Thank you for watching! - Morgan
Love Love Love this pillowcase!!! Just made my first one for my son ~ special pillow for his school summer reading! Thanks for sharing :)
Yay! That is so fun to hear! Thanks for watching!
A great tutorial. I have watched several on pillow cases and could not figure out why my pillow cases did not come out right. Your tutorial is the best I've seen and I was able to make perfect pillow cases, thank you so much.
Janet
YAY! That is so awesome to hear +ThreadsbyJB! We love being able to help others through our videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this kind comment!
I enjoyed watching. Very clear instructions. And your kind and sweet personality shining like a star.
Thank you very much! We're happy you like this fun project! -Michelle
I don't know how to sew. Thank you for such a delightful pillow tutorial! It was also so nice you mentioned hope. We all need hope these days! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for watching. Do you think you're going to give this project a try? You're right -- we call need hope these days!
Excellent instructions! Making my niece a Harry Potter quilt and had some extra fabric so hopefully it’s enough to make a matching pillow case! Love this idea! Thank you very much! 🧵
This is such a fun project! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
I just started Exploring Quilting. I have cloth up to the eyeballs ;) new and from years past! I just got some new Beautiful cloth, but I will need much more cloth that would work with it in order to make a quilt. I have 5 grown daughters and 6 grandchildren, so far, That would be A LOT of QUILTS to make! This "Magic Pillowcase" Will Be PERFECT! I can pick cloth I think each might like, make the cases and find out if they would like a Quilt to Match! BRILLIANT! And Much Less Work before CHRISTmas. Thank You for this Tutorial.
Great idea to make the pillowcase before the quilt! That will be a great way to gauge interest. Thank you so much for watching. Let us know how your pillowcases go and if any of the kids/grandkids request a quilt! We'd love to see pictures of your completed projects. - Morgan
This is nothing short of awesome. Genius.
Thank you! We thought it was so smart, too! Apparently it's been around for decades and is used to make certain men's shirts and women's skirts. Who knew?! Thank you so much for watching! - Morgan
The best tutorial of this craft that I have seen.
Thank you so much Kay! So glad you like this video and find it so helpful.
This is the best video for the pillow case of all that I have looked at. The way you do the French seams is the best also. The only thing I do different is my accent piece is 2" not 3".
So happy to hear that! It is so nice that you can adjust the measurements to your liking and it doesn't change the construction at all! Thanks for watching :)
OMG! I can't wait to get started!! Am making a Star Wars pillow case for my nephew for Christmas!
What a fun idea +Evie Bolante! Your nephew will love that! Thank you so much for watching!
Learned this method years ago. Great refresher! Thanks.
So happy to be able to refresh it for you!
Excellent video with very good clear instructions. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. You have a God given talent for teaching. What a beautiful idea to make pillow cases for shelters. I have one in my area and I'm going to make some for them. God Bless.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Let us know how your pillow cases turn out.
Very cute Jennifer! I love the magic pillowcase!
Thank you! They're such fun projects! - Morgan
Thank you. What a clever sewing diy pillowcase.
Isn't it fun?! We love this one! Thank you for watching! - Morgan
Hi Jennifer. You have no idea how timely this tutorial has been for me. I will be sewing two pillowcases this coming week as a birthday present for my mother who is turning 91 years old at the end of the month (what do you give a 91 year old???). She loves pretty things and I have some gorgeous fabric put aside for the projects. I will have your video tutorial playing on my laptop while I sew! I am wondering if I could use a 3" lace for the accent fabric - I don't see why that wouldn't work, do you? Thank you so, so much for the tutorial and for your beautiful smile. God bless you!!
What a thoughtful and beautiful idea for a gift Vicki Maggs! You could certainly use lace for the accent strip- that is such a lovely idea! It is wonderful to hear that this tutorial was an asset to you- thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave this kind, personal comment!
Absolutely magic! Thank you.
You are welcome! Happy that you enjoyed this tutorial and appreciate your support! Thanks for your comment! - Abby
this is old I have been making pillowcases like this for years but I am thrilled you have learned this method... :)
Yes, it's definitely been around for a long time, but we're happy to share it with people who haven't been taught it before! :) Thanks for watching! - Morgan
I just made the first of a pair to go with a pair of quilts for the guest room twin beds. Perfectly smooth and easy to follow. Snap! Next I’ll try a couple in flannel for hubby. Thank you so much.
Yay! We're so glad to hear they're going well for you! The flannel will be so cozy for winter! - Morgan
So cool! Can't wait to get some made!
We love to hear that! Thank you so much for watching ! We hope you have so much fun making your pillowcases. Jennifer
Love to make these. Been making them for 20 years. Do them for birthday's and holiday's and just for the fun of it. Thank's
These are perfect gifts!! They're always fun to make, too! - Morgan

War ~ evil people ~ hatred & division.
It's a joy to just watch & listen to someone who is upbeat ~ positive & who is so caring about others ❤️
If only Country's were led by Quilters & Crafters what a Beautiful place the world would be 🤗
We don't let our differences come between us
We speak the language of Love & inclusion 🤗
It's nice to turn off the news, tune in to your videos & let Beautiful people like you, shine your into our world.
Thanks for Sharing yet another Great Tutorial ❤️
I just wanted to add that I'm in the process of putting together a King size quilt that I layered & Hundreds of pins later I had to laugh when you mentioned how some of us may Not like to pin
😁🤪😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have a Beautiful Blessed weekend 🙏🏾
Love & Prayers 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
How fun! Thank you very much for your kind words. We're glad this project has inspired you. Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
I just watched again.. I am in the process of making one now! So excited!! Thanks so much again!! I am so glad I found you!! This is a great tutorial!😃
We're so glad you found us, too!! Let us know how your project turns out! These are so much fun to make! - Morgan
Love this pillow case! I enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you for putting this together.
+Debbie Chittick so glad you loved it! Thank you for watching!
+Shabby Fabrics You mentioned that you would have pillow case kits in the video; did you decide against it? I cannot find them on your shop site.
Love your Tutorial. Excellent. My question. What if the pattern was running the length and when your pillowcase is done, it doesn't show the pattern length wise as the pillow is laying on the bed, but is running the other way? Would you cut your pillowcase pieces out differently?
+Linda Stanitis you would be sure to cut your main body fabric to 27"x44" (about the average width of fabric) since your pattern is running the other way you would just need to cut the rectangle the other direction on the fabric rather than cutting across the width. A little more cutting but it will look so cute!
+Shabby Fabrics God Bless You. Thank You So Much. I So Appreciate the response and So Love to Watch your tutorials. You have such a Wonderful and Pleasant Voice, it is So Easy To Watch and Listen and Learn. Thank You So Much. I Hope You And Your Family Have A Very Merry Christmas. God Bless.

Love making these pillowcases after watching your videos using prints that are every which way, , I see your using a single direction print for this case placing the salvage edges together and some of the holiday prints I picked up are single direction but opposite of the one you have, for mine I rotated the whole piece and put the trim and cuff on the long side which now has salvage edge after deciding if the cuff was to be left or right so it's at the correct edge when placed on the bed
Enjoyed your video so much. Your details in making the pillowcase was excellent and really appreciate your thoughts on caring for others.
Thank you for watching! Let us know how yours turn out! - Morgan
I love the ten minutes block it's amazing
Thank you for watching!! - Morgan
Nice and informative tutorial, thank you. God Bless you and your family!
Thank you so much for watching. So glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Let us know how your pillow-making goes. God bless you and your family, too.
I decided to make this and I love it so much. I added my own extra feature though. I monogrammed my name on a strip of muslin, and placed it under the decorative strip. All one has to do is lift the strip and the name shows from underneath. I really love that touch and plan to do this with every one that I make.
That is such a great idea, thank you for sharing that with us and other viewers. We'd love to see a picture of it if you'd like to share!
I have made these a few time!! LOVE THEM!!!
That is so great to hear +Donna Lori! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
Oh I wish you would have shown us the inside so we could see the results of the French Seam, darn it, otherwise you are great as always. So excited to try this, thank you!
Thank you so much for watching and for letting us know that you'd like to see the inside! I'll pass that on to our video team so we can make sure to give more detailed looks at projects in our newer videos. Let me know how this project goes for you! - Morgan
Super cute. Thank you for the tutorial, and another reason I like to sew the 1/4" seam then trim to 1/8" is to remove any frayed edges, which have a tendency to stick out of the final seam if you don't. It makes a cleaner looking final seam.
Thank you for sharing that tip with us! - Morgan

Thank you! I was looking for a quick gift idea.
You're so right that these pillow cases are the perfect gift idea! Thanks for watching!
Great idea. Thanks. Also good idea to do this to match quilt as a gift.
Yes, it is an extra special touch to a quilt that is given as a gift!
This is the BEST pillow tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you so much! Do you have measurements for us big kids using King size pillows?
Sherry Inskeep - Yes! You will cut the main fabric to 36" long instead of the 27". Happy Sewing and thank you so much for watching! Jennifer

I love this way of making a pillowcase...
I've just added your video name to my list...
We're glad you enjoy this fun project! Thank you for watching 💖 -Michelle
It was called the Sausage Pillowcase when I started using it years ago. I think you can still do a search on youtube for "sausage pillowcase" and see the original video. Easy pillowcase and very professional looking when completed.
Cindy Hartford Hi Cindy Thank you so much for watching. I too think this pillowcase looks so professional when it's finished!
