I followed your directions and made my first pillowcase!! Thank you so much!! P.S. So glad you mentioned that plastic headed pins melt! I wouldn't have necessarily thought of that!
Very in depth tutorial, thank you. But I've heard silk and satin pillowcases are very slippery, and hence have a tendency to slip off of the pillow. Expensive pillowcase brands online usually use a zipper closure to prevent this, but I'm happy just to do an envelope but I didn't see this in the tutorial. It will be my first time sewing a pillowcase, and while I made simple bags and skirts under the guidance of my Mum as a child, I'd love to get back into sewing. I have done some hand sewing but mostly for plush toys on a small scale, so I'm excited but a little nervous to get back into machine sewing. Sadly, my parents bought me a sewing machine years ago but Mum has been using it the last couple years as her old machine needs a tune up... so it's about time I use my own sewing machine haha she had also stolen my brand new fabric scissors as hers need sharpening 😩 Do you have a tutorial on envelope pillowcases? And do most store bought pillowcases have French seams? Even cotton ones? Or is it best for satin for extra strength on the hems?
Nekita I started with a fabric that was 2 1/2 yards, but i think you could get away with just 2 yards of fabric. I’m using 100% polyester satin fabric. I purchased my fabric at JoAnn Fabric Store.
@@cynthiarenaemakes Great! I did read they fabric after I typed the question. Is polyester satin different from "100% satin"? I've been wanting a satin pillow case, but the ones in the Beauty Supply Store aren't what I want. I love this technique. I feel much more confident finally getting started making pillowcases.
I purchased my clips from Hancock Fabrics while it was still open, but you can get them from Amazon. Just type “sewing clips” into the search bar. They are very inexpensive
Thank you for sharing ❤

Thank you. On it !your voice is so soothing. Can you do one with trim on the top?

Great Project...Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing. Can I use a French seam for any seam?
I'm a beginner. What size fabric did you start with?
Nekita I started with a fabric that was 2 1/2 yards, but i think you could get away with just 2 yards of fabric. I’m using 100% polyester satin fabric. I purchased my fabric at JoAnn Fabric Store.

No 100% satin and 100% polyester are the exact same. The wording may change depending on which store you get your fabric from.
@@cynthiarenaemakes ok thank you!! Love the video
You need a hot ruler I think it’s called
Hello, where did you get your clips from?

Informative, but the music is sooooo annoying!!! No need to have it at all. Had to keep muting.
