SEW A PILLOWCASE with 1 yard of fabric!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Pillowcases are THE easiest sewing project ever invented! And they're fun for any skill level, because all you need is 1 yard of fabric---and there are SO many cute prints out there. I make these for my kids year round, I give them as gifts to friends and cousins. They're the perfect little project. I'll show you two ways to make a standard-size pillowcase:
• with quilting cotton fabric
• with cozy fleece
And then you'll be making them for everyone you know too.
Come sew with me!

I'm 12 I love to sew I use my mums old sewing machine that she never uses I love to make hair accessories and clothes for my dolls thanks for your toutorials they are so helpful love ur channel
You’re 19 now how’s the sewing going
I'm a very green newbie and this is the first pillowcase tutorial I've watched that I can actually follow. Thank you!
Oh good! I'm glad it was easy to follow! I hope you make lots and lots of pillowcases :) - Dana
This is the best pillowcase tutorial out there…comes together in minutes. Takes longer to pick out the fabric than it does to make it. This novice seamstress thanks you🙂
Hahah. Totally! :) Thanks Heather!
Haven't sewed since I was in Home Ec class 30 years ago, but I just made my daughter a Little Mermaid pillowcase. Thanks, Dana!!
I'm a beginner sewer and I'm just so happy how easy the pillowcases are to make. They came out perfect. I'm grateful for the way to teach showing step by step. Makes it easier to do.
Nice
Thank you for a simple pillowcase that isn’t a burrito type. Which are pretty simple, but this is simpler! Which I love! I also have a really cute fleece that has been just sitting around waiting for a project👍
Loved your tutorial. I'd recommend keeping the fabric a little longer on one side, fold it in and stitch it in when you're sewing those edges. That way you have a fancy flap inside the case, and the pillow itself isn't visible and/or won't fall out.
Yes I thought at first that was what she was doing with the wide hem she ironed. I like how that flap covers any pillows that are a bit larger than normal so that the bare pillow is not visible x
She has a separate video that shows how to sew an envelope pillow case 👍
These pillowcases are HUGE. I trusted that they were for standard pillows, and mine are swimming in the first one I made.
PS: maybe loose cases are better than the snugger ones I've bought to fit my standard feather pillows. Maybe I'll sleep better. But if I had to adjust the pattern, after testing, I think I'd take an inch off the 44" width, and an inch of the 36" length. The case would still be a little loose but not floppy.
I love your tutorials. It truly is "Sewing Made Easy". I own a Baby Lock Sewing machine and i love it. you're helping me learn more how to use it. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks for your kind words, Cheryl. :) Have fun sewing!
Thank you for the tutorial. I had never successfully sewn anything on a machine before today! My daughter and I made these together with a beginner singer sewing machine. They turned out great and she’s so proud of them. I look forward to learning more.
Awesome! That's great to hear! Dana
Crib sheets are my go to baby present. Moms love them. Store purchased sheets are very skimpy and tight in size. Often moms ask for more since the store version is very difficult to put on mattress. I often use flannel and it doesn't seem to matter that the width of fabric is often less than 45" @ 42-43" wide. I make mine 72" long so they are easy to put on mattress.
I like your easy teaching techniques. Learning from you is quiet assimilative .Nice job darling
Wow thank you soo much for this! I just bought my sewing machine yesterday and made this pillow case today! Thanks to you and the tutorial I have officially created my first sewing project ever!
Each and every video of yours is fantastic. Iam a beginner & learning fast, all because you inspire me through your videos. Thankyou!
I am just getting into sewing....so very new. Found your RUclips and love it. I will learn so much from you. Thank you.
I watched several videos on pillowcases, and you are the best!! Thanks for making this simple and perfect presentation. These are Christmas presents.
This is the best and easiest to follow tutorial on how to make a pillowcase. This lady makes it easy and fun.
Haha. Thank you so much Kim! Pillowcases are so much fun to make :) - Dana
I've given this a go today... I couldn't work out which way my 'directional' fabric pattern should go, so I thought I would hop on here and just post a comment in case it helps someone else in the future. I cut the 44" length in the 'portrait' position (running along the side of the selvage edge....not 'landscape', longest side going upwards - away from you. It worked for my pattern, I hope it will help others who may be unsure. I'm also going to attach some KAM snaps to close the ends up, just so they pillowcase stays nice and tight, otherwise it'd come off. Great pattern though, thank you! x
Our teacher showed this video at our school a while ago during Work Education! We will do it as our project :). I am so excited because it looks fun and cute! Thanks for the idea!
THANK YOU!!! My hubby found a Star Wars fabric and wanted pillowcases made from it - I appreciate you sharing this tutorial, because you make it look so easy! ~Nicole G
Oh that's going to be fun for pillowcases! 😍
I love how well you explain things when you make tutorials... you were one of my inspirations to start sewing. I started sewing and Christmas and haven't looked back since! I've even started my own blog, which has been hard work but I've really enjoyed the challenge. Without sounding condescending you should be really proud of the person you are and the success you have created for yourself!
Sew Darn Neat Oops here's my blog: sewdarnneat.blogspot.co.uk so you can check it out (Obviously you don't have to) :)
Sew Darn Neat You are so awesome for sharing that. Thank you! You guys keep me motivated to make + share more! Congrats on starting your blog and sewing adventure :) - Dana
I bet it can be difficult to stay motivated some days, I know my bed screams my name sometimes but I'm glad you push through and give so much! I've had a few lovely comments from people using my tutorials so far, I've been screens shotting them so if I ever feel unmotivated I will look at them for a boost! I hope you liked my blog, it would be great to get constructive feedback from someone who produces such good quality content. Have a great day!
Great video. Already learning so much
you just help me make my first project and am so happy, sleeping on my new pillow case tonight. Sending you love all the way from Ghana, thank you
I have exactly 1 yard of fabric out of a stash my friend gave me, so I am going to make a pillowcase. This looks so easy!
Awesome! Have fun!
Turn the pillow case inside out then put it over the pillow & pull down over the pillow! It’s super easy & no struggle!
Thank you for getting me started. This was my first project on the machine and it gave me the practice and confidence i needed. Now i am starting to tackle a bit harder projects. You are an awesome teacher! 🙂
Just found your channel. I love to sew, too. You're right -- pillowcases are a great beginning project. Thanks for sharing.
You are always so happy when making your videos. Thanks for the tutorial so easy to follow. You should sell the fabric because u know the exact measurements needed.
After years of wanting a sewing machine, my husband got me one for Christmas. I've been getting all the bits and pieces I need together and am now ready to start. so exciting! your vids are great for beginners like me. Really well explained and made to look so easy. Thank you from the Uk! xx
Thanks! And have fun :D
I am not a true beginner sewer, but I like how easy and step-by-step this video is. I have made 5 pillow cases so far. It gives me a creative outlet while I am working at home. Sometimes I need a break, and in less than 15 minutes, I can have a new pillow case made. Thank you for sharing!
Oh that's so awesome! Good job!
I know you posted this years ago, but thank you! I'm decently experienced with sewing, but I still wanted a good idea for how to best do this. I just found some cute fabric with little campers on it, and am making some pillow cases for my mom's birthday. They just got a new camper and this will be a perfect addition to their bedding. Thank you again! :)
Oh fun! That’s a great idea! Your mom is going to love it 😊
@@MADEEveryday I actually just finished them, and this was super simple to follow! Can't recommend this tutorial enough, even for newbies to sewing! ❤
Awesome! Thanks Jen! 🥰
Love this video! Short, sweet and too the point! Would love to see you do a video, on sewing a kitchen scarf/boa.
Best sewing video, ever!
I have been looking for white sheets in my country and have been struggling for some reason so im going to just purchase some fabric and make a bed sheet set this is super helpful and useful thank you❤️
Love this! Can't wait to make bunches of pillow cases. Thanks for the video.
I was just talking to myself I needed to start making pillowcases. And this evening I came across this video. Two yards for a set of pillowcases. Im on it, thanks
So cute and alot of quick tips to make sewing easier
That's a creative way to do it if you don't have much fabrics 👍🏻
Your videos are so easy to understand
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Ive finally did it!!! Less than 15 min. Thank you.
I'm so happy I found this video. I made two for my husband and now one for my daughter!
Hi I'm a beginner.. your videos are really fun and easy.. absolutely love it .. thank you
Imma try this thank you! I’m super beginner and didn’t even know where to start
I am obsessed with your videos!!!! I love sewing!
i am a beginner sewer, and your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
thank u soo much for this tutorial I am going to make my dad one for fathers day
This is cool I'm gonna get some retro ren and stimpy fabric and make a pillow case with it
I love making pillowcases as my hobbies at home when I am free..and I want to open up a business for pillows and bedsheets. Can you make video on how to make simple bed cover bed sheets and blankets. Thanking you for sharing. Watching you from Jordan..God bless you.
Thanks for watching. I don't have a video for making bedsheets, because it's difficult to find fabric that is wide enough for a bedsheet (other than a baby crib sheet). You can make them with standard fabrics, but you would have a seam down the middle. It seems easier to just buy sheets at the store :)...or if you are a manufacturer, then you can figure out having the exact fabric made for your sheets. Sorry!
Made this pillowcase came out brilliant yeah I subscribed. I use to make pillowcases the old way never again thank you 👍🏽👌🏻✋🏼✋

THANK YOU! You are amazing. I am a beginner sewer. And your tutorial was so easy to follow. I have now made 3 pillowcases for myself!
Oh that's so awesome! Good job!! Have fun sewing more :) - Dana
@@MADEEveryday Oh I am! Already bought materials for other projects I saw on your channel (tote bags and zipper pouches)!
Very informative video, great job !
I just made two of these for a gift. They were so easy, thanks for this tutorial!
Oh good! Hope the recipient loves them. :)
I just moved & I'm wanting to put my personal touches on as much as I can. Tfs!
She’s such a great teacher!
Looks like such an easy pillowcase. I'm going to try this...I made the tube type pillow case before but this looks much easier.
You made it sew easy! Thank you! Made 3 as Christmas gifts, even one fleece!
Awwwwesome! Love that!
Lovely project!!
This video is very great and helpful because I am a beginner sewer
Your tutorial is fantastic. Easy-to-follow sewing.
Just made one for my son. I've been getting mixed up with length versus width on the fabric...lol but I'm getting better. Thanks for the tutorial. Can't wait to try others.
You are awesome. Your tutorials are always super easy to follow along
You make it look so easy
Wouldn’t it have been easier to sew the flap part first before all along the rectangle?
Always love to watch yr videos on RUclips.Pls kindly upload more sewing tutorials I learn a lot from you.Thanks for sharing.
This is simple and amazing! I am a beginner. Love this tutorial and your HAIR!
Thank you! :)
Can you please do a tutorial on how to sew curtains? Love your channel, I learn so much from you!
I needed to be reminded as it has been more years than I want to count since I took home ec. We were taught never to keep the salvage on the project because of the flexibility of the rest of the fabric and the salvage isn't flexible. It can cause the fabric to get sort of cockeyed.
Thank you for your videos. You make everything look so easy
Haha thanks! But it really IS easy - just take your time and follow the steps. :)
Thanks for sharing this tutorial:) It's a nice birthday gift and so simple to make. Reminds me of 8th grade home ec. I added rick rack to the hem for an added embellishment:)
SEW easy! ;) I tried another tutorial before I found you, and yours is the easiest to follow. My son's pillow case came out perfect. Thank you! I feel like I can do this now!
I made one!!!! I had some difficulty’s though but I managed to fix them! I absolutely love your videos they’ve helped me a lot 💗💗💗
Awesome! Good job!!
I love your personality... Definitely going to try the fleece pillow case
Thankyou for this awesome tutorial! I made a few of these tonight for Christmas gifts.
Thank you for your easy to use tutorials! I've watched many on different subjects for sewing and today I've decided that I like yours best. lol true. you make it easy, bright, fun, want to and I have sewn for many years and always look for an easier way! lol Just seems that at many times, the simple is the elegant.. etc. My hangup s on how to select the position of the buttons on sewing machine that regulate things like tension, thread stitch size, what to change numbers to and when and why.. Hope that made sense. If you ever make a video on that!, I'd love to see it. For now, I'm going for the fitted crib mattress sheet and pillowcase as you've shown. Again, love the simplicity.. I'm using an aqua with white chevron print. Thank you again!
Thanks for the kind words, Cheryl! Have fun sewing :)
French seams work well for pillowcases, that is how I learned how to make it. Seams don't fray and it is neat!
Sheets! Fitted and top please! Also a comforter tutorial video would be Awesome! Thanks!
traveledtexan I've got a sheet video coming soon!
MADE Everyday Yay! Omg I am redoing my room and these bedding tutorials will be great!!! Thank you Dana!!! - Kate ❤
MADE Everyday I"m so EXCITED!
MADE Everyday Thanks so much! I had made flannel Wonder Woman sheets for my 2 year old daughter's first twin bed but they came out HORRIBLE!!! Plus I could only find the fabric in flannel... I LIVE IN FLORIDA... anyway I'm way excited!
MADE Everyday what about a no sew version
Thanks for the video! Favorite part is when you said "pretty foxy"! To funny!
MsSassy haha. Thanks for noticing :) - Dana
I’ve commented before-I have a sewing and quilting studio-whereby I teach the art as well! Just have to say you are a rock star! Clear, fun, projects and instructions! We share the concept of simple can be beautiful and special! You are adorable! Keep doing what you do-inspire those on this glorious journey❤️🧵✂️
Thanks Renee! I agree...to keep it simple :) Thanks for commenting and sharing the love of sewing with your studio and classes! Dana
Thanks a lot! And your kids look lovely.
Darling! A good tutorial, esp for beginning sewers. I can see a lot of 4-H sewing projects being done along this line! This is a much less complicated pillowcase than the ones where you roll it up like a burrito, etc. Beautiful, but not totally practical for a beginning sewer! Thumbs-up, Dana!
+Elizabeth Hansen Thank you thank you! :)
Seriously?? I am a beginner and this was incredible. I absolutely loved this and I love my new pillow case!
Easy directions. Thanks!
I made a peppa pig pillow case for my girl! Took me a minute bc it wasn’t even and I tore them out and redone it but it turned out! I love it
Thanks for a great and simple tutorial. I just mad eone in a few minutes
Hi Dana... I tried both of methods... They came out simply beautiful. Thnx
***** Awesome. It's such a fun, fast project :) - Dana
I make pillowcases often, and have for about 40 yrs. For those starting out, fabric should be washed and dried before sewing. I always use cold water to wash, but even with low heat in the dryer, the fabric may shrink, especially if it’s 100% cotton, or cotton rich. Once prep is done, then the pillowcase should be measured to decide how big the hem will be. I’ve had some end up at 2.5”, not counting the initial 1/2”, because of shrinkage. To be on the safe side, I have my fabric cut at 1 1/8 yards.
Nice demonstration!
i have a video suggestion!!! i want to make my mom a fleece blanket with batting for christmas... do you have a video for that? or have one coming? love love love your channel !!
Hi Dana, first I have to tell you that I love your website/blog/RUclips videos!!! I have made 4 crib sheets with matching pillowcases (for my 2-yr old grandson). i just went out and bought some more fabrics to make crib sheets for our new baby granddaughter who is on the way. The question I have is if I can use knit fabric for pillowcases?
Hi Geri, Awesome! And Thanks! Your grandkids are lucky to have a sewing grandma :) Yes, you can definitely use knit fabric for the pillowcases. Sounds soft and cozy! If you want to see what that's like....they sell Jersey Knit sheet sets at many retail shops. My kids have a set and they love them. Have fun sewing! And thanks for watching :) Dana
In Australia our pillowcases ha a flap at the open end to keep the pillow in place and cover the end of the pillow.
I really love your tutorials they make everything much easier tank you
thank you for showing us how to make cool and quick things

I love your videos super fun and easy for us beginners!
Can you do a video on what type of needle to use for different types of fabric please?
Great idea! I'll put it on the list :)
MADE Everyday did you do it? Needles for fabric
Easy pillow video thanks🙏🏽🌹
Thanks Dana, great tutorial as always. But can you do a tutorial on making a pillow case with a flap? I think they call them “housewives” pillow cases in England and they’re great because the flap secures the pillow inside the pillow case (if you know what I mean)?
Hi Bev! Yes, I know what you mean....funny name for it :) I don't have a tutorial for that, but I do have an envelope pillow. I know it's not the same thing, but it might help you figure out how to do your version. You can see that video here: ruclips.net/video/6-QV3kA8WIM/видео.html
Hi Dana, I'm a longtime fan of yours! I had to message you because I'm watching a video about the Johnny Depp defamation trial (May2022) and the video cut away for a commercial and it was for this pillowcase video of yours. I said out loud , to my cat lol, 'hey, I know that video!' I've never have seen a commercial on RUclips by someone I've known and followed. I thought you might enjoy knowing that I was watching the video with 222K other viewers! That's a lot of new pillowcases potentially being made in the future per your instructions. P.S. I haven't watched this video in years so I dropped it in my 'watch today' folder. I bet your children have grown very beautiful. I'll have to check out your recent work soon. Hope you are well. Cath from CT🌷🌷
Hahah. Oh my gosh! That's so crazy! THANK YOU for sharing that with me Cath! I haven't paid for any advertising, so that's really fun that my video popped up! woot woo! Haha. Seriously, thanks for letting me know :) - Dana
The fleece is my favorite! I'll have to try this.
I love your sewing tutorials! Could you please do an oxford pillow cover? Thank you so much in advance
Hey Dana! I just recently stumbled across your videos and I'm in love with them :) I'm just starting to sew, and I was wondering if you could make a video explaining fabric basics to beginners. Things like different kinds of fabrics, what each kind is used for, what stitches to use for certain fabrics, etc.
Thanks!
Consider not using fleece--it's a plasticky product that sheds teeny bits with every washing. Microbits?
