How to make a pillowcase with only 3 seams!

In this week's video tutorial I show you how to make an adorable and easy pillowcase with only 3 seams! The method used to create the pillowcase is often referred to as the Burrito method... or sausage method... or the roll up method.

This is the perfect beginner project for a few reasons... it's a functional project that will be put to good use, it's quick and easy, and you can learn how to make french seams in this tutorial. French seams are a way of enclosing all raw edges and seams so that the finished project looks very clean and professional!

For this project you will need:

Fabric:
Body of the pillowcase: 24" x Width of Fabric (usually 40"-45")
Cuff of the pillowcase: 12" x Width of Fabric (usually 40"-45")
Accent trim of the pillowcase: 2" x Width of Fabric (usually 40"-45")
