It won't take long to make this easy pillowcase. French seams are used to contain the frays along the side and bottom of the case, and a folded-over cuff does the trick at its opening. The steps to create enclosed seams might seem confusing if you've never used either technique, but the methods truly are simple.
Make a novelty pillowcase for a child or adult, or stitch cases that coordinate with a quilt. Use the pattern to become accustomed to the basic construction method, and then try a string pieced or patchwork cuff.

Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. It’s the ONLY way I will make pillowcases. When I show a pic of my pillowcase on my blog – am I allowed to share your link back to this tutorial?
Sure, Lynne, I love it when people share links back to the Web site. Thanks!
Oops, I put an ‘e’ on the end of your name — sorry.
Thanks Janet! I appreciate it – and no problem with the ‘e’ – my own sister has added ‘e’ to my name since I can remember…and that’s a LOT of years! LOL
