How to Sew a Pillowcase

Here are directions on how to sew a pillowcase for an easy kid’s sewing project. They are a great way to decorate and personalize your room. You can really be creative on these. Make a holiday pillowcase or use fabric with a favorite character. Fabric now a days comes in all colors and a wide variety making this sewing project a lot of fun.




You will Need:
2- 21 x 30 inch rectangles cut out of your material

Cut two rectangles from the measurement above or use an older pillow case for a pattern. A fabric pencil and quilting ruler might be helpful. Place right sides together.

Right Sides together making a pillowcase



Sew one side to the end, take it off the machine and sew the next side. Don't forget to do your backward stitch after the first few stitches and at the end. (We will learn how to do corners in the next level if you already know how, go ahead!) Leave one short side open. Turn the top edge over ½ inch and then ½ inch again. Pin in place.

Sew the edge taking out your pins as you sew. This is called sewing a hem. Turn right side out and your pillow case is all done and ready for bed.
