I love making these pillowcases for Christmas! They are simple to make and always look so good when they are done, but each year I always have to relearn the sausage trick to make the cuff (is that the word?). So I decided to make myself a photo reference and post it here so I can refer to it anytime.
Fabric requirements:
WOF 2 inch strip, 9 inch strip and 27 inch strip
Press 2 inch strip in half lengthwise.
Lay out 9 inch fabric right side up, lay pressed 2 inch fabric along top, pin together at top.
Lay out 27 inch fabric on top wrong side up, pin together at top.
Roll up the 27 inch piece.
Fold up the 9 inch piece so that everything is inside and pin together.
ta da!
Sew quarter inch seam along pinned side. Turn it all inside out and press.
With wrong sides together sew side and bottom with scant quarter inch seam, turn inside out. With right sides together sew 3/8 inch seam on same side and bottom, and turn inside out again. Press! Done!
