How to Make a Tube Pillowcase

To make one pillowcase, you will need three different patterned fabrics.

1- Main- 27 inches (3/4 yd.)

2- Cuff- 9 inches

3- Piping- 2 inches

Lay all fabrics on top of each other. Match up and cut off selvages.

With hot iron, press cuff and piping pieces in half lengthwise.

Open up 9 inch piece and lay face up on rotary mat. Lay the main fabric, face up, on top of the 9 inch piece. Lay piping piece on top of the cuff and main fabrics, lining up raw edges. 

Roll fabric up from the bottom, like a tube, then fold 9 inch piece up to the top. 

Pin all layers together and sew, using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Do not sew ends.

Pull fabric tube from inside out.

Open up and fold pillowcase, right sides together. 

Lining up the cuff and piping, pin and stitch down the side and across bottom of pillowcase. 

Turn right side out. 

Press if needed.
