Things You'll Need
Instructions
Determine how large you want the finished pillowcases. Standard pillowcases usually measure 21-by-36 inches.
Use scissors or s rotary cutter to cut two pieces of fabric, each measuring 43-by-30 inches.
Lay the fabric on a flat surface with the right sides facing each other. Pin around both long sides, and one short side.
Thread your sewing machine with thread that matches or coordinates with your fabric. Set the machine to the straight-stitch setting, and sew the three pinned sides closed. Leave a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
Remove the pins. Turn the pillowcase right-side out and press it with a warm iron.
Fold the raw edges in about 1/2-inch. Press with a warm iron.
Fold the edges in again, about 4 inches. This hides the raw edge inside the fold. Press again and pin all the way around the edges.
Sew around the open end. Leave a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Remove all the pins.
