Have you bought any sheets sets lately? I have and they cost a ton of money. Who would have thought the average person would have to work a half a week to buy a good set of sheets? And than when we buy sheets we never get enough pillow cases. So we have to buy extra and we are than spending a lot more money. In this days economy it is all about saving money and I have a few tips for you.
I do not know why these cases are so expensive because they are just about the easiest thing a person can make themselves. You do not need a pattern, so that saves .00 to .00 right there.

How to sew a the case
Tips:
1 - When a sheet wares out it is usually in the center, the ends are still strong and has many years of use left. You can use these ends for a pair of cases.
2 - When buying a new set of sheets, rather than buy extra packs of the cases, buy a single sheet in the same or contrasting color. You can make 4 pillow cases out of one single sheet.
3 - Watch the clearance bins, often they will have flat sheets that have no mating fitted sheets so they put them on clearance to move them out. These would make you perfect pillow cases.
4 - Make your own designer pillow cases for gifts. Weddings and a house warming are perfect examples for these special handmade gifts. You can make plain or create designer cases with very little effort and cost.
Finished case sizes are:
Standard 21 X 32
Queen 21 X 36
King 21 X 42
How to make a pillow case instructions:
Cut your fabric 6 inches longer than the pillow you are going to use and 1 inch wider. If you are making a standard you will cut a piece 27 X 38. Turn bottom up 1/4 inch and press. Than turn up a 5 3/4 inch hem, sew.
If you have a serger it is a great time to use it sewing up the side and across the top of the pillow case. If not than use a straight stitch and than zig zag along the edge to keep from raveling. Turn right side out and press.
That is it, that is all there is to making a pillow case. These directions are for a basic one color or print sheet. You could have it make in 30 minutes. Make up sets to go with your decor and to use for gifts. Quick, easy and so very economical.
