This instruction is absolutely amazing; your verbal directions, along with the visual of fabric cut sizes and layout, taking us step by step is absolutely what I have needed. For two days I have been searching, watching, and listening online for flap pillowcases only to come away confused with a cluttered mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks Laura. Very easy when you're shown how. I remember making one is sewing classes 50 years ago. Haven't done one since and it worked a treat, thanks to your clear instructions
What an excellent, articulate teacher you are! I've watched this a few times and today will make a pillow case using some patchwork that I have made for the front part. I will finally have a case that matches my quilt and shams I made. Thank you for your excellent videos!
These are perfect pillow cases. I was leery of not sizing them to the pillow but her method of tucking the longer cases to custom fit any pillow is brilliant. Being a directional klutz it took making a few for the Eureka! moment but now feel I could do these in my sleep. Yep, she's the best.
A pleasure to watch, clear concise instructions. Very good filming. You would be so inspirational to so many non sewers. Recently I have helped young woman learn to sew and it was with pillowcases I got her “ hooked” she learnt basics, straight accurate seams, measuring and ironing and she completed two pillowcases for her boys.
I was asked to make a body pillow cover - this is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much Laura for always sharing your knowledge & talent!!
I just made these to coordinate with a quilt I made for my bed during the pandemic. They came out beautiful! Thank you for the easy to follow instructions Laura! You do make everything “Sew Very Easy”! 💜💜💜
Hi Laura and thanks a million for another great tutorial. The pillow cases are gorgeous! I love the flaps! I always use 2 pillow cases to hide the pillow. With your pillow case, there is no more need for that ! The flap adds a beautiful finish! 😎🌸
I thank you for showing us this! I love this style pillowcase, reminds me of my childhood! I have purchased them in the store before - but they are far and few between. The border and matching cover are gorgeous!
Hi Laura, thank you for the great tutorial. I had previously made a pillowcase for my granddaughter, but without a flap. It drove my daughter crazy as we here in Australia always have flaps on our pillowcases. I was so glad I found your tutorial, I have now made two and counting. Regards, Pat
Thank you so much Laura I just made this pillowcase x 2 for my mums king size pillows. I am chuffed with them. You made it so simple for me. You are so accomplished in your field of craft and I have loved all your tutorials. Big UK fan...
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Have seen the basic construction method before, but never with the inside flap. Love that the pillows won't show. As always, your instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
I'm so glad I found this video! I needed to make a couple of toddler pillowcases to go with a quilt I made. I wanted that flap to keep the pillow in place as well as hide it from view. All other tutorials were for a "hot dog roll". This is so lovely and I'm so pleased with the results. Thank you so much!!!
I love this! I can see making theses for Christmas and for hospitals. Thank you so much. Love watching you and you are one classy lady Laura😎Eileen Jones
+ Kelly F - I'm sorry to have to correct you here, as I too used to think she was "one of the best", but I've come to the conclusion after watching hundreds of YT videos ... that she's "The Best" :-)
Thank you Laura for another wonderful video.... I have never seen a pillowcase like that....I really enjoy it when you bring different things that maybe people haven't seen yet...thank you.
Thank you, thank you! So many videos on the traditional style pillowcase, but I haven't seen a single video on this style of pillowcase. Well done! I've read blog instructions and pictures a bunch of times but I didn't get it. Then search for videos and never found one until now!!!!! Beautiful!
You always amaze me at the way you make sewing anything very easy to understand. And your way of doing things looks so professional. I love your videos!
Hi Laura and thanks to your great tutorial, I have made this beautiful pillowcase with Snowmen fabrics. It will be a gift and I’m sure the receivers will be very happy! I’ll be making more! 😎🌸 Have a great day!
I've always wanted to know how to make this type of pillow case. Thanks to you now I know. And how well you explain the instructions. Thank again and God bless you
Full credit to the British for inventing this wonderful style pillow case! It is great that the pillow doesn’t fall out, it sure is pretty at the same time :-). This is a wonderful tutorial. She explains it so well. I’ve made two of these and it’s so classy and I love the little band on the backside looks really cute! Classy classy classy!
Wow, I finally got it!!!!!!!! I could never get the burrito method right until now. The secret is flipping the whole assembly over, before rolling up the long body of the pillow case! Thank you so much!
I absolutely love this tutorial! Your explanation and instructions are very clear and well spoken. Can't wait to try this out. Thank you so much for sharing . . . blessings to you!
I rewatched this wonderful video and have it all figured out. Will try today. You are an excellent instructor. I can't wait to try this project. Bear with me for the novice questions as I am just learning and enjoy your tutorials very much. Thank you.
At last!! Pillowcases with a flap! UK pillowcases come with flaps, and you have just provided me with detailed instructions on how to make them, with the added 'designer' touch of an accent piece and different cuff. Thank you so much. Your videos are clear and concise and easy to follow. One of the best I've seen. Keep up the good work! God Bless.
Thank you so much for this inspirational video! I'm eager to get started on this project. Your presentation is clear, concise, professional, and motivating. You are a gifted teacher and a clever lady! Blessings, Liz in N.C.
I saw a flap pillowcase tutorial a few weeks ago. It is a great instructional video, but I wanted to make the pillowcase with the cuff on both the front and back. Your method can be made with the cuff on both sides. Eureka! Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials. I have learned so much watching your channel.
I was looking for a way to make simple pillow shams to go with quilts (using leftover fabric but without having to do all the quilting)...This is perfect! Thank you! I also love the tip about folding in the "extra" length, which allows anyone to customize for their pillow size. Another GREAT lesson!
Thank you for such a descriptive video. I love your guidance and appreciate seeing this. I am going to get my patience geared up and give it a try. I have made many regular pillow cases but this is going to be my first.
I love this tutorial ! I made two of the pillow cases tonight, the second one was a little better than the first and I am sure the third will be even better than the second ! I plan to make a few dozen at least for Christmas presents, some to match quilts I plan to make.Thank you, Linda D.
I LOVE watching your tutorials! I am a newbie in the sewing and quilting world, but I might give this pillowcase a whirl because it is gorgeous, and if I did it right would make lovely gifts. Thank you for sharing your great projects with us. You are a fabulous instructor, and I love your soft voice.
This is genius! I have done mortal combat with my pillowcases for years, trying to get the pillow back in the case!! Now I win! And to be able to use a smaller pillow in the large case is a great tip, and I again wonder why I never thought if it. Probably because I was wrestling with the other end! Thank you, Laura!!
I prefer these instead of the burrito style . I am use to ones with the flap. Well explained . A great tutorial and a great teacher. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.
Cannot wait for my machine to get back from the shop so I can make new pillowcases for my bed to match my quilt. Luckily I planned for shams when I bought for the quilt. I have those protective covers on my pillows and that stuff is SLIMEY! My pillows will not stay in their case and now they will! I also make a pillowcase for every quilt I make as a gift and will start using this method.
I agree with the many posts you are the best teacher. You explain things so clearly. I'm not sure I would have found my way around the written instructions on this pillowcase but after seeing your instructions I could make these and will next time I need to refresh my pillow cases or make some shams as I really like this full encasement. Thank you for your instructional videos I continue to learn much.
Beautiful job. It looks hard but I do make the regular French Seam Burrito style pillowcase, so it should be too hard to follow this one and put the flap inside. Thank you. I appreciate you. Great teacher.
This instruction is absolutely amazing; your verbal directions, along with the visual of fabric cut sizes and layout, taking us step by step is absolutely what I have needed.

Once again you’ve proven that you are the Jackie O of the sewing and quilting community!!!! ⭐️
Beautiful pillowcase - love that flap to cover the pillow! It looks so finished, neat, & tidy! Thank You, Laura!
A pleasure to watch, clear concise instructions. Very good filming. You would be so inspirational to so many non sewers.
Recently I have helped young woman learn to sew and it was with pillowcases I got her “ hooked” she learnt basics, straight accurate seams, measuring and ironing and she completed two pillowcases for her boys.
I was asked to make a body pillow cover - this is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much Laura for always sharing your knowledge & talent!!

Love your easy to follow tutorial and I love my pillow cases with the inside flaps. Going to be my default case.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Have seen the basic construction method before, but never with the inside flap. Love that the pillows won't show. As always, your instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you sew glad you enjoyed it:)
5/24. Still the best directions for this style. Thank you!
I'm so glad I found this video! I needed to make a couple of toddler pillowcases to go with a quilt I made. I wanted that flap to keep the pillow in place as well as hide it from view. All other tutorials were for a "hot dog roll". This is so lovely and I'm so pleased with the results. Thank you so much!!!
What would you're measurements be for a toddler case may I ask?
Wow Laura! This is great! You are so explicit, and this one I need to watch a few times! Thanks Laura! What fun!
This is a wonderful little project! So very practical, easy and I no longer have to worry about pillow sizes! Beautifully done Laura!
Thank you and Thank You for for watching:)

Thanks and thank you for taking time to comment
Another winner Laura! Thank you. I'm going to use the scraps from my quilts that I use on my bed, to make pillow cases to match. Yay!
good idea!
I actually did it!!!!!!!!!!!! took 3 hours and few re-dos but Im so pleased with the outcome. Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you! So many videos on the traditional style pillowcase, but I haven't seen a single video on this style of pillowcase. Well done! I've read blog instructions and pictures a bunch of times but I didn't get it. Then search for videos and never found one until now!!!!! Beautiful!

You do a wonderful job of explaining your techniques. Thank you
I just finished making these pillow cases.... They are fantastic and so fashionable .... Amazing tutorial and great product. 10/10
Brilliant! I had no idea where you were going at first but then when you pulled the top out of the sleeve - *Chef's Kiss* - so smart! Thank you!
Of all the videos I've watched, this was the easiest to follow and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Hi Laura and thanks to your great tutorial, I have made this beautiful pillowcase with Snowmen fabrics. It will be a gift and I’m sure the receivers will be very happy! I’ll be making more! 😎🌸 Have a great day!
I've always wanted to know how to make this type of pillow case. Thanks to you now I know. And how well you explain the instructions. Thank again and God bless you
Thanks Esther I'm glad you like it:)
‘Tis is a standard pillow case in the UK. The flap is not to hide the pillow, but to stop the pillow from falling out.
I Like this idea. They are not sold in the area I live in. Wish I could purchase them.
I’ve had pillows with that flap for years in the US. You just have to look for them.
Full credit to the British for inventing this wonderful style pillow case! It is great that the pillow doesn’t fall out, it sure is pretty at the same time :-). This is a wonderful tutorial. She explains it so well. I’ve made two of these and it’s so classy and I love the little band on the backside looks really cute! Classy classy classy!
It actually does both
@@TheMaggiemay77 you are assuming that the British invented this these are standard all over Europe, and in Australia.
Thank you for the tutorial. I love your explanations & work. Finally got around to trying this. Didn’t have any plain fabric but still nice.
Wow, I finally got it!!!!!!!! I could never get the burrito method right until now. The secret
is flipping the whole assembly over, before rolling up the long body of the pillow case!
Thank you so much!
I love your videos. You are so informative and you have the Heart of a Teacher! I have learned so much from you.Thank you so much.
I absolutely love this tutorial! Your explanation and instructions are very clear and well spoken. Can't wait to try this out. Thank you so much for sharing . . . blessings to you!
