I have made so many of these for my grands that I have lost count!!! Very easy to do, and a very big hit with the kiddo’s. For Christmas one year I made these, bought the pillows to go inside and gave them their very own “floor pillow” for watching tv, without having to unmake their beds. Great for guest pillows too!! 🌹🌹
I have been making pillowcases this “burrito” method for several years now ever since watching Jenny’s original tutorial. I love these and they are so easy to make. I gave everyone in our family pillowcases one year and they loved them.
I love making pillowcases. They are so quick and easy to make. My sisters and I made over 100 pillowcases in a weekend to donate to hospitals and care facilities. You can go wild with your fabric choices, especially on the pillowcases for kids.
I recently made 5 of these for my grandchildren in a travel size so they had their own pillow in the car for our family vacation. It was super easy! I love this method!
I love making pillow cases. Last year everyone got a pair. Love to make them for kids, so many fun fabrics. Always do a French seam so no thread raveling when washing. Thank for the sizing chart.😊
I found this technique once when sewing with a group who made donation clothing for needy kids. They also did the pillowcases to be given to foster children. It makes a great way to carry any belongings they have when being moved to different homes. I have since made many of them. I like to add 2 when I’m giving a quilt that could be used as a bedspread. I also like to make larger “youth bed” size quilts instead of small baby quilts that are soon outgrown. I add a small travel size pillow & a matching pillow case so when the baby graduates to the larger bed & is ready for a small pillow it’s ready & waiting.
These are so fun and easy; a great starter project for kids. I often make a pillow case or two to go with quilts that I gift. I'm planning to make cases for the grandchildren's and guest bedrooms, for various holidays.
Thank you Misty for showing us the French seams are not scary and are achievable. I always freak out when I have to put wrong sides together and sew. It’s amazing how I have been accustom to RST then sew! I do like the look of the French seams. Thank you for the fabric requirements for the different pillow sizes too. ❤❤
You made it easy with those French seams. Much better than finishing a regular allowance with a zigzag. I'd seen it years ago but didn't try. I've got 4 to make now and wanted them with a cleaner finish. I like this a lot better. I clicked on the video and didn't see it was an MSQ until the end when I went to like & then subscribe since it was you guys. My 1st blanket was your self-binding minky from the video back in 2021. Thank you for the help here as well.
I love doing French seams! I've been doing them for many years, and not just for pillowcases. They're wonderful for clothing too, especially for flannel pajama pants and tops.
Thank you for this tutorial! I especially appreciate the different sizes. I've made many standard size but now I don't have to "trial and error" for larger ones. Again, thank you!
My step mom made new pillow cases for my kids one year for Christmas. They were such welcome gifts! Im a grandma now, so i need to watch this tutorial and learn. Haha
Perfect timing! I was just thinking about making pillowcases for the quilt I just finished. I have enough fabrics to make one pillow case, but trying to figure out how to use it for two cases. Maybe just use same fabric for the cuff and solid for the body of the case. Than for the great tutorial.
Some of my kids and grandkids have pillows that are a little larger around and much longer than the king size. I don't know how to solve that other than to add more fabric around and possibly 2 side seams. The length is an easy fix. Any ideas out there? Thank you Misty for the refresher tutorial! Love what you're doing!
Thank you for this tutorial. Would you consider doing one for three English/hotel style as well? I appreciate your effort bringing us these great tutorials. 😊
i love this method of making the pillow cases. silly ? since you are using a Bernina, which foot are you using? are you using a regular foot and just moving your needle over?
So happy to have the other sizes figured out so I don't have to math. Thank you. Is the quilt behind you a tutorial or pattern? I LOVE it. Thanks for the inspiration this Monday morning.
I made some of these years ago and discovered that 24 inches x wof is long enough for the body of the pillow case. I used them as wrapping paper for birthday presents.
We make these for Quilts of Honor. The quilts are given inside the pillowcase. I have found that there are no strings coming through the French seam if the original case is cut with a pinking blade in my cutter.
I made a pillow case for grandkids with a pocket on the outside so the tooth fairy could easily find the lost tooth and the pocket worked great for the money the tooth fairy leaves.
I have made hundreds of pillowcases in so many sizes! I use this same technique! I was surprised that your company charges for a digital pattern! When you can find this pattern all over the internet for free! The million pillowcase challenge! When we made them free for kids in the USA!
Somehow we "lose" the pillowcases that come with the sheets; I've resorted to make "seasonal" pillowcases to add joy of the season, whatever it may be. Thanks Misty for the great tutorial!
I sew the flange piece to the body of the pillow first right down the middle on the fold. Then I fold the flange piece up to get into the seam. That way when you wash the pillow case the flange piece does not get wrinkled and ugly.
So does top stitching as Misty did, but I don’t top stitch the flange where Misty did, I sew the loose flange edge to the pillowcase so it doesn’t fold or crinkle up when used or laundered.
@ everything is the way Misty says except the way I put the flange piece on. I sew it down first face down on the body of the pillowcase on the fold line and then fold it up to the top and continue making the pillowcase as shown. Hard to explain….
She top stitched the flange but she did it near the seam side. I top stitch on the “loose” side of the flange so it doesn’t fold up in use or when laundered.
Thank you Laura and Sharon. I’ve made these before (before it was “a thing” 😝) but I didn’t do the burrito method or the contrasting cuff & flange; and I agree about sewing down the loose side of the flange, so it doesn’t get all scrunched up from the wash. Wait, come to think of it, I did try this once for a roll pillow case and I used the flange to run a ribbon through to tie the one end closed. So I guess I DID sew down the loose side of the flange. I boxed the other end. Totally forgot abt that! 😂
Doesn’t the accent strip need to be placed with raw edges away from you when doing the initial layering? Or is it the other way? Pretty important detail! (I have made so many of these “burrito pillowcases with French seams”, and they are so fun to make.)
We just dont have pillowcases like that, that dont have the flap turned to the inside, that holds the pillow securely and so you cant see the pillow. I have seen US channels make them, but dont know what you call them.
In the UK plain pillow case is called a housewife pillowcase, the one with a border is an Oxford pillow case, and, of course we have the frilled pillow case. I prefer these style pillowcases because they do hold the pillow securely and always look neat. I find, when staying with friends in the US, the turned in bit of the pillow case always slips out and the pillow never stays in the case. I made the UK ones for American friends and they want more as they now also prefer them.
I have made so many of these for my grands that I have lost count!!! Very easy to do, and a very big hit with the kiddo’s. For Christmas one year I made these, bought the pillows to go inside and gave them their very own “floor pillow” for watching tv, without having to unmake their beds. Great for guest pillows too!! 🌹🌹
Thanks Misty! I have used this pattern years ago from your mom's tutorial. I believe she calls it the burrito pillow case? Its nice and easy :)
Mother n law
This is how I make pillowcases! Thanks for the size chart.
Thanks for clarifying the French seam for me! I finally understand how it's done. I think my kids will be getting new pillowcases for Christmas 🎄.

I've made so many pillowcases like this and they are fun to make and my family always loves getting a new one. Thanks for the tutorial Misty.

What are the seam allowances??
Indeed.
I recently made 5 of these for my grandchildren in a travel size so they had their own pillow in the car for our family vacation. It was super easy! I love this method!
I've made a few of these pillow cases. I love them, and its easy for someone just learning to sew.
I use this method to make flannel pillowcases for my grown children each year for Christmas.
I love making pillow cases. Last year everyone got a pair. Love to make them for kids, so many fun fabrics. Always do a French seam so no thread raveling when washing. Thank for the sizing chart.😊
I’ve watched several videos on making pillowcases, and this is the first time the ‘burrito’ portion of construction has made sense to me. Thanks!

Timely project. Will be making these for Christmas gifts! Thank you Misty. Love your channel❤️
Great job on this tutorial. I always have to look up the directions to make sure I lay out the pieces correctly! This is a video I will save!
Thank you Misty for showing us the French seams are not scary and are achievable. I always freak out when I have to put wrong sides together and sew. It’s amazing how I have been accustom to RST then sew! I do like the look of the French seams.

I'm making these for the neighborhood kids this year! Thanks for the clear tutorial for different sizes.
These are the easiest pillowcases to make! Love them!
Thank you so much for showing how to make a French seam! I have heard of them but have never seen a demo.
Thank you, Misty. This is such a quick, fun, and practical project. I love getting to choose fabrics for personalizing, and coordinating colors.
Just found your channel, so glad I did. Great clear instructions for a newbie sewer like me. Thanks from England 😊
I love making these for the young and adults😊

Awesome, Thanks for the refresher course on those french seems.
Never have I made a pillow case, but I'm going to give it a go. Thanks Misty
Brilliant tutorial, thank you, you make it so easy to follow x
The topstitching is brilliant!
Thank You! Love the chart!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is really helpful! 😊
Such clear easy directions! Thank you
,
Love that rose print!
Thank you for these tutorials! You make things so easy and I love making these for my adult children at Christmas.
Thank you for the clear and concise instructions for the different sizes. great job.
LOVE THIS!!!
I love making these!
Perfect timing, I was going to make some tonight!
I loved this tutorial. Thanks for making it so easy.
Thank you Misty I am about to make some Christmas Santa sacks using this method
I used them for the *wrapping* on Christmas gifts a few years ago.
Great idea!
Thank you for this tutorial, it's been awhile since I've made one. Perfect for my family.❤
This is how i make all my pillowcases. Super easy and quick to whip up a pillowcase.
I’ve also made these Burrito Pillowcases in fun flannels for kids pillows. They are extra cuddly. Be sure to wash your flannel first for shrinkage.
I love these
Thanks, Missy for tutorial ❤
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. Happy sewing. ❤
Thanks so very much!! Great job Misty ❤
A great tutorial, looks very easy to follow, thank you

Good morning Misty from uk 🇬🇧
Thanks for these easy-to-follow directions❤😊
Thanks that is helpful with the different sizes
Thank you! This was so helpful!
Not the French seams but DIRECTIONAL FABRIC brings me undone on this project
For me it was how many times she said pillow instead of pillow case. 🤣🤣
Thank you, Misty. As always a helpful and fun video. 🥰❤️🧵🪡
I love making pillowcases to match my quilts.
Great video! Thank you Misty!😊
I love this! Thank you!
Thanks for the review
Thank you for this tutorial. Would you consider doing one for three English/hotel style as well? I appreciate your effort bringing us these great tutorials. 😊
Thanks so much!

Abracadabra Misty, loving the flange instructions, so easy. What about an inside flap to hold the pillow in???
I made a pillow case for grandkids with a pocket on the outside so the tooth fairy could easily find the lost tooth and the pocket worked great for the money the tooth fairy leaves.
Thanks for giving the measurements for a king size!! You did the math for me...🙃
This was great! Can you think about a "travel" pillow case (envelope style would be great)? Thanks!!
I used this method to make my granddaughter a Barbie sleeping bag.
I have made hundreds of pillowcases in so many sizes! I use this same technique! I was surprised that your company charges for a digital pattern! When you can find this pattern all over the internet for free! The million pillowcase challenge! When we made them free for kids in the USA!
I think their just charging if you need or want a printed pattern as a reference to reuse.
Somehow we "lose" the pillowcases that come with the sheets; I've resorted to make "seasonal" pillowcases to add joy of the season, whatever it may be. Thanks Misty for the great tutorial!
What a genius idea to make seasonal pillowcases, we love that!
Please add dimensions for a travel size pillow. Kids love this size! Great job.

Can you show if your fabric pattern is going the other way, how to measure and cut out to make it work?
Thanks, Misty! Not hard aftrt all
Did you top stitch on the cuff or the flange? I couldn’t see the detail.
It was the flange
She top stitched the flange but she did it near the seam side. I top stitch on the “loose” side of the flange so it doesn’t fold up in use or when laundered.

Misty, where can we get the card with all the sizes and fabric requirements.
Here's the link we think you're looking for. d62zadma0c9t.cloudfront.net/assets/1/pdfs/tutorials/originals/3373/basics-pillowcase-final-0.pdf
Where do you purchase the size chart for your pillow cases?
In the description above is a link to MSQC - then there's a PDF to download - have a nice day and have fun with sewing!

There is a tutorial where I think they call it a hotel pillowcase….cant imagine a pillow slip without the flap
@@annwilliams2075 they are called hotel pillowcases
I bought some from Amazon and prefer them over the flapless variety.
Really didn’t need to see you ironing which should have been done before videoing.
