You need: - ¾ yard for pillowcase body (27 inches) If you have an inch or two less, it's better to use the fabric for a pillow case than to not use it.
- 1-2 inches for flange (I prefer to use a 2 inch flange. Folded in half it's 1 inch, and becomes ¾ inch once it's sewn)
- 3/8 yard for cuff (11 inches)
  
- Cut your fabric per the above measurements.
- Fold the flange strip in half lengthwise and press wrong sides together
- Layer using the width of fabric (See figure 4):
- Cuff Fabric – Right side Up
- Flange strip – Raw edges together on one edge of the cuff
- Body fabric – Right side Down (If fabrics are directional, then check to see that they are facing the correct direction.) Roll the body fabric up so it fits within the cuff fabric.
 
- Fold over the cuff fabric to cover the roll of the body fabric and flange, bringing to the other raw edges (You should have 5 layers of fabric).
- Pin if desired.
- Stitch ¼" seam allowance along pinned edge.
- Turn right side out and trim off selvedge edges.
 
- With Right sides out pin (if you wish) along side and bottom of pillow case. Take a scant quarter inch seam allowance and stitch along the side, turn at the corner and stitch along the bottom. Clip the corner and any stray thread along the seam.
- Turn pillow case inside side out. (See figure 10) With the seam finger pressed, pin the seam again (pin if desired) and stitch with a 5/8" seam allowance.
 
Turn Right Side out, Iron and You're done!
