Beautiful way love it. Made one for a veteran in nursing home where I worked.He cried so hard that day cause it was made out of material.for air Force. He wouldn't let no one bother it. He passed and that was the pillow they used for him. He requested it to be that way. What fun it was to make it for Burrell. We called him pops. Thank you for showing and sharing this video. Blessing to you. From shreve Ohio.

Hi Jenniffer, this is Carlos, in San José, Costa Rica. I have sewn myself already several sets of pillowcases following your instructions. However I hadn't taken the time to thank you for sharing these instructions. Additionally, I want to mention that you easily transmit peace of heart. And, sometimes, when I feel a bit more sensitive, my eyes get a bit wet when you talk about making the difference in other people's life with warm details. What would this world be like if *all* humans had a tenth of your warmth in their hearts?

even though the video says a great gift from a grandmother or aunt..maybe Ill make a pair for for my girlfriend. By the way..mine are stone washed demin with a light brown leather trim. I made the 27" piece in two parts so the back of my pillowcase is a soft cotton ticking pattern. That way I can sleep on the soft side rather than denim and yet have the denim for a camper bed accent pillow.

I need to tell you that it is such a pleasure watching your videos not only do you keep you instruction very understandable but I love the clarity of your voice - and the fact that you keep your nails plain and jewelry simple - this I find very much a distraction in others videos. Just finishing up a quilt for a relative of mine and wanted to re-watch you pillow case video as I have never done a French seam before. Little did I know that I was going to need some Kleenex when watching - the time in the video is 15:38 - The Power of a Gift - your emotion and compassion is unbeatable - I was in tears - I have decided that I am going to make a pillow case a month and every couple of months I am going to take them somewhere - such as a shelter or hospital where they will be very much appreciated. Thank you for giving me this idea - I think it is terrific. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next video.

Thanks, Jennifer. I learned to make this pillowcase in my Home Economics class in the 8th grade. I’m 71 so you knows that’s over 50 years ago! That was my favorite class so I took it again in 9th grade at a different school. I owe a debt of gratitude to those teachers. Those wonderful days are gone. No more gender specific classes any longer.

Thank you for including the instructions to make French seams. It gives the pillow case a much more finished look. I love making these and you're right about what a great gift they can be. My best one was for a 5 year old in the hospital for a heart transplant. His nurse, my neighbor, was telling me about this little boy and how he loved the Incredible Hulk. I found the paper piecing pattern for the Hulk, made the square and pieced it into the center of the front of the pillow case. They told me his mom cried she was so happy and he loved the pillow case for his hospital bed (where he would be staying for some time.)

Here's a tip. If you are using a one-way print for the cuff, when pinning the cuff to body and trim, be SURE to turn the cuff fabric upside down. If you don't, the print will be upside down when you flip the bottom up, and the right side of the pillow case will be wrong. Trust me, this happened to me and there's no way you can feed all the fabric back into a tube to correct the problem. If in doubt, do a dry run with pins before sewing that seam. LOVE this technique, though!

Yep, as a builder and sewer, I agree that the two have real similar engineering. Although, this is a very basic sewing project, and the more complex engineering comes in with clothing, pockets and the like. Like building a garden bed vs a cabinet or a house. But the similarities have me thinking that all these rad sewing ladies would probably be a quick study to learn building!

Stacey Romig That’s awesome! So many kids aren’t even taught sewing basics, like hemming or embroidery, anymore! I’m sooo grateful that I had my grandmothers and my mom to teach me to sew. Something I will always treasure. During college, I made my own dresses a lot, as I couldn’t afford to buy them. Later, I made dresses for my kids’ daughters, including First Communion dresses & Baptism gowns for my nephews. They were cherished gifts, & the girls & my sister-in-law loved them. Something to pass down, plus they liked that they were unique, just for them! I even made matching dresses for a few girls, & taught some basic sewing in my Brownie troop. We used to learn some things in Home Arts, but they don’t have that anymore! Mom learned in 4H Club and from her mom. My cousin’s even made their own prom dresses! Mom used sheets that were on sale and made beautiful matching ruffled bedspreads & curtains for my room! I always hoped I would have a daughter to pass them down to, or maybe a grandaughter. No such luck, but I’m 50 yrs. old now, & I still have those sets! I remember the many hours Mom spent hand-making the ruffles (I had a full-size bed!), using no pattern at all, just her design. Priceless!!!

I've never sewn before three weeks ago when I took my first quilting lesson. I was able to follow the instructions easily because of having used a ruler and rotary blade cutter. I matched up my fabric edges, brought my accent strip to perfect point match and off I went sewing this wonderful item. I did make the French seams per the instructions and they came out perfectly. I'm in my 60's and I have to tell you, I'm stoked!

I just recently made a pillowcase for my granddaughter to match a quilt that I'm making. I wish I'd seen your video first, because you make it seem much simpler than the other ones that I watched. The measurements you give make it easier to cut the fabric, and the layout you show makes it much easier to sew. I may make some more for other people. Thanks.

Wonderful video, everything one needs to know yet done in a way that is mindful of the viewer's time. My pillow case turned out perfectly. Thank you! After I pulled the pillow case "through the tube" I added a row of top stitching on the open edge of of the trim piece to keep the cotton lying flat after washing.

really nicely done tutorial. I love the satisfaction of enclosing all of the seams! I find that some quick pressing after sewing the first step of the French seam ( not pressing it open but to one side if that makes sense ) makes it a bit easier prepare for sewing the final seam. less fiddling and and rolling I think.

I just thought I' would add, I took this class about four or five years ago and when we did the final seam and when you were struggling just a bit before you pinned the final seam, instead the teacher laid the pillowcase down and stuck a ruler up inside and slid it into the edge which pushed everything out to a sharper edge then we put he pin in, and it went pretty quick. You may or may not want to use the tip but just thought I'd nose in, love yoy and your classes.... craftynanc hoping to get craftier.

Sullivan Homesteader You can also either embroidery a name on the cuff, or use fabric paint to write the name on the cuff! They even have glitter fabric paint that looks really nice to write a name with! Another thing to do is to take glitter fabric paint & outline parts of the fabric pattern to make it stand out more. If I did that, I would do it on the cuff, rather than using a lot of it on the pillowcase.

Love making this pillowcase, and have made several to donate for various causes. I would suggest that once the pillowcase is complete, sew the trim fabric in place on the right side with a 1/4 seam. This prevents the trim from not laying well once washed. I always iron this kind of a pillowcase, but some would not be inclined to do so. Sewing the trim in place will allow the un-ironed case to still look neat. : ) Great tutorial!

Your video is lovely. Thank you for sharing. You particularly touched me at 15:01, what a kind and thoughtful person you are. I'm new to sewing, but I'll certainly not forget what you've said and will gladly make a few things to take to a shelter when I'm a bit better at sewing. Thank you once again. Hugs x
