Fabric requirements
3/4 yd - cut 27x41 body of the pillowcase
1/8 yd - cut 3x41 trim (doesn't have to be exactly 3")
1/4 yd - cut 9x41 cuff (doesn't have to be exactly 9")
Fold fabric for body of the pillowcase in half, rights sides together, begin sewing from the raw edge to the fold. I like to sew mine on the serger but they can be done on a sewing machine but you might want to zigzag the edges or cut them with pinking shears or a pinking rotary blade.
Next sew the long raw edge of the body of the pillowcase, fold the cuff and trim in half, right sides together and sew the short seams.
Turn all right sides out. Fold cuff and trim in half, matching raw edges, press.
Layer like photo, matching seams.
Pin onto bottom of pillowcase body. You won't be able to see the trim piece when sewing but it should be between the body and the cuff so that you will be sewing through all pieces.
Press and now you have a beautiful or fun pillowcase. I don't usually wash my fabrics before making the pillowcase but do wash them before using.
OK, for the giveaway is this pillowcase. It is made with a very soft and silky feeling 65% bamboo and 35% cotton fabric. Comment on this post before Monday night and I will do the drawing on Tuesday.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I really like the fabric you used add me to the draw.
What beautiful fabric, Vicky. Thanks for the tutorial--another thing to add to my list of "want-to-dos"!
Thanks for the tutorial Vicky!! All of these new ideas to try & not enough time in my day.
Vicky, that's gorgeous fabric. I need to try some bamboo blend. I need to make some pillowcases to match the curtains I made my daughter-in-law, so the tutorial comes just at the right time.
