These pillowcases are soooo unbelieveably easy. The worst part is cutting the fabric. I think I have one more prepared and then I&#8217;ll have organize more fabric to make a few more.<\/p>\n<p>TFQ is making a bunch and she tried sizing down the <a href=\"http:\/\/twiddletails.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/pillowcases-pillowcases.html\" target=\"_blank\">Twiddletails pattern<\/a> slightly. She said it came out fine and she didn&#8217;t have to cram the pillow into the case. I want to avoid that at all costs. I want the pillow to slide in so it is a 2 second linen changing job rather than a 20 minute pain and torture session.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best things about this particular pillowcase is that the seam where the cuff, trim and body of the pillowcase all come together matched up! I was really excited about that!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6406\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/PICT7725sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6406\" title=\"Matching Seams\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/PICT7725sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Matching Seams\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/PICT7725sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/PICT7725sm-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/PICT7725sm.jpg 1592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matching Seams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I know it is silly, but I really like doing the best job possible so that people don&#8217;t say that I didn&#8217;t pay attention.
