My computer has ESP. I am just returning to sewing and attempting to make a couple cross stitch bags as Christmas gifts and thought a pillow case would be wonderful for my Grands. I went to UA-cam and this video pops up even before I added pillowcases in the search bar. Wonderful video! I want to make these for everyone! Thank you!!
They are so fun to make 😉
Although I've sewn more complicated garments, I've never sewn pillowcases. This video and your instructions were fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to teach us your techniques!
You are so welcome!
Thanks great tutorial and loved your extra tips❤
You are so welcome!
The best fabrics for your hair are smooth ones, silk is best, but for cheaper multiple pillows buy a high thread count cotton sheet. Flannel will leave your hair in knots.
Good point, thank you. 👍
Thanks for the tips!
I love my flannel in the winter so I wear a silk cap😊
Everything leaves my hair in knots!
.😊😊

Exceptionally good video! Thanks for all the excellent tips!

Wish I'd seen your video a cpl years ago. New sewist. Had zero ideas how to make a pillow case. After seeing a video with burrito style. I gave it a shot. However, there isn't one that I could find and believe me I searched for days. In fact until I wasin a panic for time. The prob was how to create a pillowcase that had ( like cats) fabric facing right way not long way. When you put a pillow on the bed you want to see those critters looking at you. Lol> on both sides! Well, I quickly realized there was no idea anywhere how to do that either. So 6 hours later I did it! Added an extra seam on folded side. Flipped fabric upside-down added a new French seam on that side as well.. then went about putting it together ❤ WOWZERS I was so proud of myself. As I sit here writing this I have to admit if you flip pillowcase opening the opposite way eternal the pillow is on bed the critters were face up as well. I think it's probably still do it with the extra seam. After all it doesn't take but a few min extra and then they are always right side up. Lol yes a lil ocd. The best part, I was just beginning to relearn nearly everything after a B.I. lent why it took hours to digit it how to get those darn mermaids actually. Lol upside right !
So if I didn't say it, THANK YOU! I hadn't done another one since. Surg this lil refresh my brain was able to o kick into i know how to do that mode. Giving me confidence it would not takes hours and it will certainly be easy more fun the next time. And thank you for putting this out there..I'll admit for anyone struggling after a B.I. or with a mental health ability. There are a few things that can help. But I think that's where there is a a need for a specific type of channel.
Thank you again. Many blessings!
Ps I look forward to seeing what else you have shared!!
So glad you found me Kathleen and that this was helpful. Keep at it.
Thank you for being so clear in your explanations. I want to get a head start on seasonal pillowcases for friends and family.

Making pillowcases for local charities was so much fun for me and my hubby! Your video brings back fond memories. I use the burrito method (my fave method). Thanks for the serger tips that I will try.
You are so welcome.
Thank you for showing the 3 methods.
My pleasure
Thank you for this tutorial! I've been through countless pilllowcase-making tutorials and you're the only one I've found who gives both length and width measurements.
I have some fabric right off the bolt that's 40", some that's 42" and some 44". I wasn't sure if a few inches would change it much but now that I know what it's supposed to be, I know which fabric to use. So, thanks!
You are so welcome!
Love them all 😊
Thank you!

You're welcome!
This is a wonderful video in so many ways. Love the burrito method for enclosing the seams. Also the serger technique for making the threads neat at each end. I especially appreciate your concise instructions and your gentle presentation of the material without a lot of superfluous chat. The HSP in me is happy. I am making pillow cases for some loved ones for Christmas and will be using these techniques. Thank you
You are so welcome
I love your pillowcase video
Thank you so much!
Wonderful pillowcase demonstration. When I make mine using just one fabric I make one of the top openings deeper so that I can enclose the pillow when the side seams are sewn together (like an envelope). However I do love your adding contrasting fabrics, burrito, and French seams methods. They look beautiful! 🐾🦋
Yes, that will be another upcoming tutorial. Love envelope pillow cases.
This is great!! I have leftover flannel... I'll make pillowcases for my 4 year old granddaughter....thanks for sharing. Love the tip too about the selvage edge with a safety pin.
I do have those cardboard hem markers too
wonderful and thank you
lovely gift ideas many thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Very clever with the burrito method! I've never seen that before!
Glad you liked it.
Tqsm for sharing. I plan to sew these pillow cases soon.💝💐🌹
Wonderful
Thank you for sharing the ideas.
You are so welcome
Thank you so much . Your video was so detail and easy to understand.
Thank you!
Love your videos. Will be making these with my granddaughter this weekend. 😊 she wants to do the apron too. Gotta get them while they are young. ❤😅
I love that you are teaching her how to sew. It really is a lost art that could bring so many of these kids some joy and value. You go girl!
Wow, a new project for my overlocker. Many thanks from me in Auckland New Zealand xcx
You’re welcome 😊
Great serger tips! and demonstration
Glad you liked it!
I don't usually comment but I just have to say you are a great teacher. Thank you
You are very welcome Thanks. You are so kind!
Thank you so much for the burrito tutorial! :)
You are so welcome
Your videos are so instructive for a beginner. Thanks to your clear instructions, I've just made my first pillowcase. My husband set up the needle and bobbin for me as I don't sew. I accidentally found your channel and began to watch you out of curiosity. You clearly direct the process in a step-by-step, precise, and concise manner. I went out and bought fabric so I could finally use a sewing machine I was given that had been sitting unused in my office. I'm a beginner and your video is my first class. You're a great teacher so please, please make more videos. Thank you so very much.
You are so welcome
Never thought to make pillow cases! Thank you so much! Great idea for a child’s gift.
You are so welcome!
It’s a lovely gift. Jan’s choice of colours are brilliant, such fun pillow cases to make 😉

My nickname is Janni also (my full name is Janelle)! I’ve never seen anybody else with that nickname. 😊
Your tutorial was very thorough and clear to understand. My son is doing a project using pillowcases with a stuffed animal and a blanket in them for police officers to give to children in bad situations. I learned some new tricks for the serger from you, also. I really appreciate that.
Wonderful! Glad it was helpful.
What a lovely gift for those kids, so nice of you and your son to organise that. Well done.😉
Great directions! I did it! Thx Cris
Great job
