Quilt in a Day Forums

Here are the directions for the pillowcases:

Sleepy Time Pillowcase

Fabric Requirements
3/4 yard Main Fabric
1/4 yard Border Band
2" Accent Strip

Cutting
Main Fabric: Pillowcase body: 27" x 41" (Trim Selvage ends only)
Border Band: 9" x 41"
Accent Band: 2" x 41"


Construction
Sew the seams with your serger if you have one, otherwise use a French Seam. To make a French Seam, place fabrics wrong sides together and sew a 1/8” seam. Turn and press on seam with right sides together, then sew a 3/8” seam. This will encase the raw edge and give a nice finish to the inside of the case.

Press accent strip in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. Pin the folded strip to the right side of body along one 41” side, raw edges matching and sew through all layers 1/4” from edge. If your main fabric is directional, please consider which end is “up!”
Sew the side seam with serger or French Seam. Sew the bottom with serger or French Seam.
Sew the short sides of the ban right sides together with a 1/4” seam, forming a circle.
Pin the right side of the band to the wrong side of the case and sew with a 1/4” seam.
Turn under raw edge 1/2” and press. Turn to right side of case and align folded edge over top of previous stitching. Top stitch in place.

I think I'm missing something...how is the pillowcase double sided???

Cindy, great minds run in the same directions. We posted the directions within a minute or two of each other. I can hardly wait until I can try to make one. Maybe tomorrow.

LOL!!! HI Maryellen!!!

Well, I know it's early, but my nose is stuffed, and I have to get up in the AM... DH's dr. appt is changed from the 26th to the 10th of December... MRI is tomorrow AM.

Talk to you all later!

geeezzz CindyB you beat me to it. LOL I had it copied and when I came back it was here. LOL

I don't sew the ban on like that. I sew it on like the accent strip and if you are using both accent strip and ban then sew them together and zip up the side and your done.
Hope this makes sense

Cathy,
she is both excited and spooked!!! It is a LONG way from home, new job, new people, lots of training, has to find accommodation in a big city etc and she is soooo shy!!!
