Hello

I know how to make pillowcases. What I need to know how do you get the finished size of a pillowcase how to do you figure it out?

Lets say: Cut the body 36"x45". Fold fabric in half 1/2" seam. At the open end fold edge under 1/2". Then fold over again 4". (hem).

Q1: What is the finished size of that pillowcase?

The same question applies for a two colour pillowcase.

Body 27"x 45"

Band 11" stitch 1/2" seam short ends tog. (makes a tube)

Band fold in half makes 5 1/2"

Stitch sides and end of body 1/2"seam and join the band to the body sewing a 1/2"seam.

Q2: What is the finished size of this pillowcase?

Another size is 28" x wof and 9" band x wof

Thank you B.
