What was your creative process: I took some measurements from a standard pillowcase, selected some coordinating fabrics and made the rest up as I went along!
I started by finishing the raw edge of one end (you could overlock this, or create a 1cm double turned hem as I did). This then becomes the edge of your inside ‘flap’. On mine, I chose a coordinating fabric for the outside edge.
I stitched this to the main fabric (right side of your coordinating fabric to wrong side of your main fabric), then folded it out and pressed along the seam to create the pillowcase edge. I then turned under the raw edge of the coordinating fabric and top-stitched it to the main fabric.
Perhaps the trickiest part of making a pillowcase is figuring out how to ‘layer’ the fabrics when it comes time to sew up the side seams. For mine, I folded the pillowcase with right sides together so the eventual front of the pillowcase was facing down. I then brought the ‘flap’ (which ends up on inside the pillowcase) over to the top. After sewing up and finishing the side seams, you then turn your flap out, to give the result you can see in the pictures.
