SEW A PILLOWCASE with 1 yard of fabric!

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!

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 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!

I watched several videos on pillowcases, and you are the best!! Thanks for making this simple and perfect presentation. These are Christmas presents.

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.

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!

Turn the pillow case inside out then put it over the pillow & pull down over the pillow! It’s super easy & no struggle!

The fleece is my favorite! I'll have to try this.

[SOULSTARBELLYDANCER]

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.

[jennysspace]

Always love to watch yr videos on Youtube.Pls kindly upload more sewing tutorials I learn a lot from you.Thanks for sharing.

I needed to be reminded as it has been more years than I want to count since I took home ec. We were taught never to keep the salvage on the project because of the flexibility of the rest of the fabric and the salvage isn't flexible. It can cause the fabric to get sort of cockeyed.
