❤️ Make A Magic Hotel Pillowcase

[@TheSewingChannel]

❤💛💜💙🧡NOTE⬇ If not using PRE washed fabric then add another inch on length and width of main fabric✅ (this will allow for any shrinkage)❤

[@susanmei9980]

LOL! Maybe this is why mine didn’t fit; bc it was flannel and that shrinks even more! I didn’t prewash. Ooooops! 😮😂

[@gjo8371]

Pioneer woman fabric

[@wildrose156]

I pick up sheets from estate and garage sales. They work beautifully as backs for pillow cases, table runners and curtains. And they're usually less than a dollar a set! Used tablecloths work good too.

[@JudithVirgin-vr7sx]

Finally. Someone who can give instructions I can understand.

[@maureenkearns5376]

Finally, I can stop pinning my pillowcases closed🤣🤣🤣. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen yet. Thank you.

[@TheSewingChannel]

LOL😂 It's a wonder you didn't hurt yourself while sleeping haha

[@lindacowie2357]

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial - my husband and I have bought a country place and again forgot to bring our pillows from home😢- we bought some pillows for our bed and I remembered this tutorial- went to the local op shop and got a couple of clean sheets and made up some gorgeous new pillow cases! So blessed!

[@mimimitchell1119]

I had no idea hotel pillowcases had this feature. My husband is always complaining that his pillow is coming out of the pillowcase. Now I have the fix. Thank you Tracy for another fantastic video.

[@TheSewingChannel]

I don't think all hotels use them but that is where I have seen them here in the US✅ Have fun making them💛

[@Star-c1h]

Love this video. I love how you mentioned adding a decorative stitch to the flap. Thanks for such thorough and precise instructions.

[@helenparker1870]

You learn something every day. Even the cheapest pillow cases in the UK come with this inner flap. I thought they were the standard for pillow cases all over the world. I like the burrito method of adding the contrasting fabric, and the French seams give a really neat finish.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Here in the US...the standard is no flap....But I like it....especially with the pretty fabric💛

[@Lehcar1]

In Australia they’re standard too, I made this burrito style before without the inner flap and don’t like pillow cases like that. These ones look great

[@lindapucillo3493]

How wide is the flap on the pillowcases? Not sure the flap she suggested would hold my pillows from coming out. Any advice you give will be appreciated.

[@m0ther0ne]

@@lindapucillo3493make the flap longer, so add more length to your fabric. Also don’t do a tight fitting case as the pillow will want to ‘pop’ out.

[@lindapucillo3493]

@@m0ther0ne thanks. Like I said, all advice will help me. Plan on making some of these next year.

[@joanneG75]

I love your method of teaching ♥️♥️♥️. Thank you

Ive been just a touch dyslexic my entire 75 years. BUT your magic pillow tutorial has made it all so very clear. Instructions I can understand! I love the pillowcases! Thank you!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You’re going to LOVE making these! ❤️

[@joyavern4867]

I have never seen a pillow case without this flap!!!

[@debbiew.7630]

This is the only way I am going to make pillowcases from now on. Thank you so much for showing this to us. I always do French seams and this is just a little extra over the top. I love it!!! thank you so much. You’re one of my favorites to watch. Thanks.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Awe...thank you for the kind words Debbie.....You will love making these for sure!!!!💛

[@Karla70859]

I made these a year ago at Christmas time for my Twins, they absolutely loved them, now I’m making Neck Pillows that are 18 x 10, and making each with one pillow case, thank U 4 post!

[@karenmcmullan]

Hi. Thanks Tracey. Little tip... when you turn the pillowcase inside out, to do the last of the French seam, flip the flap over, so that the opening is in the top memory fold. Sew the side seams. When you turn it out again, the French seams are hidden inside the flap.

[@flutterfree2497]

Thanks, Karen, this was the piece I couldn't figure out! Its always bugged me when I see the seam, even though its a pretty French seam.

[@melanietaylor0401]

Thanks for the tip 👍 😊

[@dcwatashi]

Can someone explain that again I don’t like seeing that French seam either it’s bulky

[@adoral.libertucci2647]

That’s brilliant!!

[@dcwatashi]

@@adoral.libertucci2647 I know can’t wait to try this method. I have made the other method before and I did not like that thick French seam showing.

[@pst47wings]

I've decided this is the perfect Girl Cousin Camp project! (Granddaughters ages 8-14!) I bought a bunch of Christmas fabric today at Hobby Lobby. I am going to add in a narrow flange. I guess i better make a sample one ahead of time!!! Thanks for another great tutorial

[@suestutzle2779]

In Australia, back in 1960, when I was nine years old my Aunty taught me to sew. This type of pillowcase is the first thing I made. Our pillowcases are all made like this. When the burrito pillowcases came out I was surprised there was no part to keep the pillow from falling out. I really enjoyed this video. I was thinking of all the pillowcases I made like this when I was young. Thank you.

[@anneeq50]

Yes same here. I had no idea there were any other kind of pillow cases for bed pillows. I always make my own because my pillows are so big the standard shop bought pillowcases are too small.

[@TheSewingChannel]

A lot are saying that Australia uses this style pillowcase....✅ Thank you for watching Sue💛 Enjoy making these pillowcases🎉

[@dcwatashi]

@@TheSewingChannel well if Britain and Australia have done this for decades you can bet Canada has as well. I just don’t remember my pillowcases looking like that But my family members enjoyed them as gifts

[@berniecelee5062]

@@dcwatashi : we in Canada follow the USA on pillowcases …. We don’t have the inner flap to secure the pillow inside the case. Sometimes we do like the US and other times we do like the Brits….don’t know why 🤷‍♀️ . I never paid attention to my hotel pillow to notice this inner flap. This video was excellent! I will consider making this for kids’ pillow especially the ones they travel with on road trips. Great tutorial, Tracey !

[@dcwatashi]

@@berniecelee5062 It’s definitely a more sophisticated pillowcase

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

I love these type of pillow cases. One of my sheet sets has them and they are great! I should just make a bunch of my own since I have 14 pillows on my bed... yup I use them all 😄 🤣 😂

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wow Tiff!!! LOL 😂 14 pillows....WOW!! (my husband is the same way lol....he uses all his too)! I use one....the one in the video LOL

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

These are definitely on my gift giving list too!🎄

[@LQ327]

I LOVE!!! your tutorials. Every time I watch one I want to make the project! Thanks for all you do😊

[@margaretlewis2289]

Love this pillowcase. I typically sew pillowcases from the leftover fabrics of a quilt and gift them with the quilt. Looks fantastic on a bed. And the recipient doesn’t have to go search for matching pillowcases

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea!✅

[@joekris.2998]

Hello Margeret Lewis 😊 how are you?

[@estherchandy6292]

Just made a pair of colour coordinated pillow cases that came out beautifully. Thank you for this tutorial .. i proceeded confidently and with no need to rip out any seams as happens when I "guess" my way through a project. The delightful addition of a hidden, decorative seam "not because the user will see it, but YOU" will when you change the pillow." How disarming, charming and eye opening. Not for the "likes" and ,👍 but because you yourself will like it. Big warm hug from India for that

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wonderful!

[@Sweepear]

I rarely make pillowcases because I can’t find fabric that I want to have my face next to, but I love the pattern. One quick tip. If you press the seams flat before turning it over to make a French seam, you don’t have to fiddle with trying to roll it into place. It will fold smoothly and crisply. You can then sew a straight 1/4” seam without fuss.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for the tip Beth....I usually do that ....I skipped that step this time🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Sweepear]

@@TheSewingChannel 🥰

[@joekris.2998]

Hello 👋🏻 Beth Allen 😊 how are you?

[@sharonlalli1414]

Use another sheet to make your pillowcases.

[@adoral.libertucci2647]

Pressing the first seams does make stitching the French seams much easier.

[@RoseOriginals]

Now I wish I would have made these for our travel trailer instead of the jelly roll type. They stay so neat! Thanks for sharing!

[@gwenthibodeaux8124]

Hi Tracy I’m just coming across your channel. I’ve never seen a pillow case like this before. I’ve written done everything to make this. It’s 4 years since I’ve sewn anything. I’ll make one and embroidery name on the body of pillow case. Thank you so much for this post. I have 45 cases to make for my family. Adults will get these and kids will get the sausage pillow cases. I’ll look forward to watching your other tutorials.

[@Ucongold]

I don't know how many times I have watched this, and have made a number of pillows for family. Thank you for the great tutorial.

[@TheSewingChannel]

You are so welcome!🩷 I love this design too❣️

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

In the UK all our pillowcase are like this with the flap. Thank you for this great video with excellent instructions 😊

[@Butchamyx]

I Love this!!!! I’ve always wanted a pattern for one of those hotel cases!!! Patty 🥰

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Just watched on repeat and made three of these to go with toddler quilts

[@chh2422]

I love the pillowcases!

[@kerryl4031]

Thank you - I had been looking for pillowcases made the way we have them over here. My daughter chose fabrics she wanted a long time ago, but the tutorials I found only had the ones without the flap - some didn't even French seam! Being a hoarder, and my daughter has no interest in quilting or sewing, I still have those fabrics! Looks like I'm going to reduce my stash! Beautiful edge fabrics on your pillows too.

[@glynisreynolds446]

We do have that flap here in the UK 👍 I would even consider making the ‘flap’ slightly longer so that pillow definitely can’t pop out 😃 Love the pretty fabric detail 👏👏🇬🇧

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes...making the inner flap longer would work nicely✅

[@catdonese]

I saw a tutorial by Daisynics that shows when you turn the pillowcase to the wrong side to do French seams, she also turned the tuck in cuff wrong side out . When she turned it back to the right side, the cuff looked real nice and the seam was flat.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes...I should have done that🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Kaylene16]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been wanting to make some of these types of pillow cases but didn’t know what they were called and stumbled upon your tutorial today! So excited to get to making these!!

I just found your channel, and am so happy I did! I used to sew about 20 years ago and want to get back to it, but, have forgotten all the tips and techniques I used to know. Sadly I have actually forgotten how to use my sowing machine. Your tutorial was clear and detailed, and I loved your calm way of presenting. I have set a target for getting back to sewing as my Jan 2023 resolution. Your channel will help me to achieve my goal! Thank you!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wonderful! YOU can do it!!!🎉

[@leeyeomans68]

How have you gone getting back into sewing?

[@KetoMealsandRecipes]

Hi Lee! Unfortunately, I haven't started sewing yet, because I need to get the sewing machine serviced, because of all these years not using it, and I have to get new needles for the machine. After I get myself organized and the machine working, I hope to finish a quilt that I started over 25 years ago. I have to admit that I'm finding the idea of starting to sew again a bit unnerving. Thank you for asking - I hope that you have a wonderful day!

The pretty part you cut out was 9 x 22, but I didn't hear how you got the 22 measurement.
