SEW A PILLOWCASE with 1 yard of fabric!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- Pillowcases are THE easiest sewing project ever invented! And they're fun for any skill level, because all you need is 1 yard of fabric---and there are SO many cute prints out there. I make these for my kids year round, I give them as gifts to friends and cousins. They're the perfect little project. I'll show you two ways to make a standard-size pillowcase:
• with quilting cotton fabric
• with cozy fleece
And then you'll be making them for everyone you know too.
Come sew with me!

I'm 12 I love to sew I use my mums old sewing machine that she never uses I love to make hair accessories and clothes for my dolls thanks for your toutorials they are so helpful love ur channel
I'm a very green newbie and this is the first pillowcase tutorial I've watched that I can actually follow. Thank you!
Oh good! I'm glad it was easy to follow! I hope you make lots and lots of pillowcases :) - Dana
Haven't sewed since I was in Home Ec class 30 years ago, but I just made my daughter a Little Mermaid pillowcase. Thanks, Dana!!
I'm a beginner sewer and I'm just so happy how easy the pillowcases are to make. They came out perfect. I'm grateful for the way to teach showing step by step. Makes it easier to do.
Nice
I like your easy teaching techniques. Learning from you is quiet assimilative .Nice job darling
Your videos are so easy to understand
I am just getting into sewing....so very new. Found your TH-cam and love it. I will learn so much from you. Thank you.
I love your tutorials. It truly is "Sewing Made Easy". I own a Baby Lock Sewing machine and i love it. you're helping me learn more how to use it. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks for your kind words, Cheryl. :) Have fun sewing!
So cute and alot of quick tips to make sewing easier
Imma try this thank you! I’m super beginner and didn’t even know where to start
Each and every video of yours is fantastic. Iam a beginner & learning fast, all because you inspire me through your videos. Thankyou!
Best sewing video, ever!
Wow thank you soo much for this! I just bought my sewing machine yesterday and made this pillow case today! Thanks to you and the tutorial I have officially created my first sewing project ever!
Lovely project!!
Loved your tutorial. I'd recommend keeping the fabric a little longer on one side, fold it in and stitch it in when you're sewing those edges. That way you have a fancy flap inside the case, and the pillow itself isn't visible and/or won't fall out.
Yes I thought at first that was what she was doing with the wide hem she ironed. I like how that flap covers any pillows that are a bit larger than normal so that the bare pillow is not visible x
She has a separate video that shows how to sew an envelope pillow case 👍
Thank you for the tutorial. I had never successfully sewn anything on a machine before today! My daughter and I made these together with a beginner singer sewing machine. They turned out great and she’s so proud of them. I look forward to learning more.
Awesome! That's great to hear! Dana
I am obsessed with your videos!!!! I love sewing!
Just found your channel. I love to sew, too. You're right -- pillowcases are a great beginning project. Thanks for sharing.
Love this! Can't wait to make bunches of pillow cases. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for a simple pillowcase that isn’t a burrito type. Which are pretty simple, but this is simpler! Which I love! I also have a really cute fleece that has been just sitting around waiting for a project👍
I have exactly 1 yard of fabric out of a stash my friend gave me, so I am going to make a pillowcase. This looks so easy!
Awesome! Have fun!
Our teacher showed this video at our school a while ago during Work Education! We will do it as our project :). I am so excited because it looks fun and cute! Thanks for the idea!
I must try this one with my daughter! Thank you!
I watched several videos on pillowcases, and you are the best!! Thanks for making this simple and perfect presentation. These are Christmas presents.
I've given this a go today... I couldn't work out which way my 'directional' fabric pattern should go, so I thought I would hop on here and just post a comment in case it helps someone else in the future. I cut the 44" length in the 'portrait' position (running along the side of the selvage edge....not 'landscape', longest side going upwards - away from you. It worked for my pattern, I hope it will help others who may be unsure. I'm also going to attach some KAM snaps to close the ends up, just so they pillowcase stays nice and tight, otherwise it'd come off. Great pattern though, thank you! x
Thank you for getting me started. This was my first project on the machine and it gave me the practice and confidence i needed. Now i am starting to tackle a bit harder projects. You are an awesome teacher! 🙂
Very informative video, great job !
you just help me make my first project and am so happy, sleeping on my new pillow case tonight. Sending you love all the way from Ghana, thank you
That's a creative way to do it if you don't have much fabrics 👍🏻
Love this video! Short, sweet and too the point! Would love to see you do a video, on sewing a kitchen scarf/boa.
The fleece is my favorite! I'll have to try this.
THANK YOU!!! My hubby found a Star Wars fabric and wanted pillowcases made from it - I appreciate you sharing this tutorial, because you make it look so easy! ~Nicole G
Oh that's going to be fun for pillowcases! 😍
I was just talking to myself I needed to start making pillowcases. And this evening I came across this video. Two yards for a set of pillowcases. Im on it, thanks
Crib sheets are my go to baby present. Moms love them. Store purchased sheets are very skimpy and tight in size. Often moms ask for more since the store version is very difficult to put on mattress. I often use flannel and it doesn't seem to matter that the width of fabric is often less than 45" @ 42-43" wide. I make mine 72" long so they are easy to put on mattress.
Omg. Your video is so helpful. I'm a beginner in sewing and I wanna make pillow cases for my husband.
i am a beginner sewer, and your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Hi I'm a beginner.. your videos are really fun and easy.. absolutely love it .. thank you
You are always so happy when making your videos. Thanks for the tutorial so easy to follow. You should sell the fabric because u know the exact measurements needed.
This is the best and easiest to follow tutorial on how to make a pillowcase. This lady makes it easy and fun.
Haha. Thank you so much Kim! Pillowcases are so much fun to make :) - Dana
I'm so happy I found this video. I made two for my husband and now one for my daughter!
She’s such a great teacher!
You make it look so easy
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Ive finally did it!!! Less than 15 min. Thank you.
This video is very great and helpful because I am a beginner sewer
I love how well you explain things when you make tutorials... you were one of my inspirations to start sewing. I started sewing and Christmas and haven't looked back since! I've even started my own blog, which has been hard work but I've really enjoyed the challenge. Without sounding condescending you should be really proud of the person you are and the success you have created for yourself!
Sew Darn Neat Oops here's my blog: sewdarnneat.blogspot.co.uk so you can check it out (Obviously you don't have to) :)
Sew Darn Neat You are so awesome for sharing that. Thank you! You guys keep me motivated to make + share more! Congrats on starting your blog and sewing adventure :) - Dana
I bet it can be difficult to stay motivated some days, I know my bed screams my name sometimes but I'm glad you push through and give so much! I've had a few lovely comments from people using my tutorials so far, I've been screens shotting them so if I ever feel unmotivated I will look at them for a boost! I hope you liked my blog, it would be great to get constructive feedback from someone who produces such good quality content. Have a great day!
Your tutorial is fantastic. Easy-to-follow sewing.
These pillowcases are HUGE. I trusted that they were for standard pillows, and mine are swimming in the first one I made.
PS: maybe loose cases are better than the snugger ones I've bought to fit my standard feather pillows. Maybe I'll sleep better. But if I had to adjust the pattern, after testing, I think I'd take an inch off the 44" width, and an inch of the 36" length. The case would still be a little loose but not floppy.
You are awesome. Your tutorials are always super easy to follow along
Great video. Already learning so much
This is cool I'm gonna get some retro ren and stimpy fabric and make a pillow case with it
You made it sew easy! Thank you! Made 3 as Christmas gifts, even one fleece!
Awwwwesome! Love that!
I just moved & I'm wanting to put my personal touches on as much as I can. Tfs!
So random but I've been wanting to DIY some pillows for a while and your tutorial is PERFECT! Thank you for sharing, yay!!
Thank you for your videos. You make everything look so easy
Haha thanks! But it really IS easy - just take your time and follow the steps. :)
SEW easy! ;) I tried another tutorial before I found you, and yours is the easiest to follow. My son's pillow case came out perfect. Thank you! I feel like I can do this now!

Thanks a lot! And your kids look lovely.
I know you posted this years ago, but thank you! I'm decently experienced with sewing, but I still wanted a good idea for how to best do this. I just found some cute fabric with little campers on it, and am making some pillow cases for my mom's birthday. They just got a new camper and this will be a perfect addition to their bedding. Thank you again! :)
Oh fun! That’s a great idea! Your mom is going to love it 😊
@@MADEEveryday I actually just finished them, and this was super simple to follow! Can't recommend this tutorial enough, even for newbies to sewing! ❤

Just made one for my son. I've been getting mixed up with length versus width on the fabric...lol but I'm getting better. Thanks for the tutorial. Can't wait to try others.
I love your personality... Definitely going to try the fleece pillow case
After years of wanting a sewing machine, my husband got me one for Christmas. I've been getting all the bits and pieces I need together and am now ready to start. so exciting! your vids are great for beginners like me. Really well explained and made to look so easy. Thank you from the Uk! xx
Thanks! And have fun :D
This is the best pillowcase tutorial out there…comes together in minutes. Takes longer to pick out the fabric than it does to make it. This novice seamstress thanks you🙂
Hahah. Totally! :) Thanks Heather!

I am not a true beginner sewer, but I like how easy and step-by-step this video is. I have made 5 pillow cases so far. It gives me a creative outlet while I am working at home. Sometimes I need a break, and in less than 15 minutes, I can have a new pillow case made. Thank you for sharing!
Oh that's so awesome! Good job!
I love making pillowcases as my hobbies at home when I am free..and I want to open up a business for pillows and bedsheets. Can you make video on how to make simple bed cover bed sheets and blankets. Thanking you for sharing. Watching you from Jordan..God bless you.
Thanks for watching. I don't have a video for making bedsheets, because it's difficult to find fabric that is wide enough for a bedsheet (other than a baby crib sheet). You can make them with standard fabrics, but you would have a seam down the middle. It seems easier to just buy sheets at the store :)...or if you are a manufacturer, then you can figure out having the exact fabric made for your sheets. Sorry!
I find this helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for the video! Favorite part is when you said "pretty foxy"! To funny!
MsSassy haha. Thanks for noticing :) - Dana
Easy pillow video thanks🙏🏽🌹
I love this. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your tutorial! 😎🌸
