Envelope Pillowcase
Put an end to slipping pillowcases and spice up plain covers by adding some fabric to your pillowcases and creating an envelope. If you dislike using pillow covers or shams, this is also a great way to add colour to your existing pillows that will enable you to get rid of your pillow shams!
Materials:
Scrap fabric in coordinating colours to your bedroom
decor
Pillowcase
Sewing machine
Coordinating thread
Method:
Cut off the open end of your existing pillow case just past the wide seam.
Cut fabric in your accent colours to replace the amount that was cut off of your pillow and allow for seam allowance (2.5 cm is generous for each seam). You are aiming for 3 pieces of fabric the same width but one piece being a little longer than the other 2. I will refer to the pieces A, B and C as seen in the diagram below.
Piece B will be longer and piece B and C will have a hem. I used two different colours for piece A.
Piece A and B sewed together. The hem of B is at the top of the image.
Fold of piece AB and hem of piece C is at the top.
Back of pillow with envelope.
