Pillow Case Tutorial

I found this retro sheet at Emmaus and
as part of my very slow bedroom "make over"
I have made these pillow cases, heres how,

You will need:
Fabric = two rectangles one that measures
30 x 20 inches or ( 76cm x51cm)
and the second piece 36 x 20 or (91 cm x51cm)
Sewing Machine

Pins, scissors, and sewing thread

1 cm seam allowance

 Start with you two pieces of fabric each measuring
30 x 20 inches or 76 cm x51cm and 36 x 20 or 91 cm x51cm

with the wrong side of the fabric facing you

 and using the end that measure 20 inches (51 cm)

machine a line 1 cm from the edge of the fabric.

Repeat on the remaining piece of fabric.

 using this line as a guide fold over on the stitch line and press, fold again and
press, repeat on the  remaining piece of fabric.

 machine along the fold line on both pieces of fabric, the fold should be on
the wrong side of the fabric, repeat on the remaining piece of fabric.

 Place right sides of the fabric together, the unsewn ends must match, leaving
the turned hems not matching (my top hem is not sewn into place in the photo)

 Machine the pillow cases together using 1 cm seam allowance and zig zag the edges.

 fold the flap over the pillow and pin together, this bit feels wrong !
 And machine down using a 1 cm seam allowance,

 to match the seam you have already sewn.

 fold the flap back, give it an iron, you pillow case is finished.
