My Experience With Making A Queen Size Pillow Case

When I was redecorating my bedroom, I wanted to add some new decorative pillows to my bed. However, I quickly realized that buying new pillow cases for all the pillows would be too expensive. That’s when I decided to make my own queen size pillow case. It was a bit daunting at first, but I found that it was actually quite easy to do.

How To Make A Queen Size Pillow Case

Step by Step Guide

Measure the size of your pillow. A queen size pillow is typically 20 inches by 30 inches.
Cut your fabric to the appropriate size. You will need two pieces of fabric, each measuring 20 inches by 30 inches.
Place the two pieces of fabric right sides together and pin along the edges.
Sew along three sides of the fabric, leaving one of the 30 inch sides open.
Turn the pillow case right side out.
Iron the pillow case to remove any wrinkles.
Insert your pillow into the case.
Hand sew the open edge closed.

Top 10 Tips and Ideas

Choose a fabric that is soft and comfortable to sleep on.
Consider adding a zipper or buttons to the open edge for easy removal of the pillow case.
Use contrasting fabrics or patterns to make your pillow case stand out.
Try adding decorative trim or lace to the edges of the pillow case.
Make multiple pillow cases in different colors or patterns to change up the look of your bedroom.
Use a sewing machine for quicker and more precise stitching.
Wash and iron your fabric before starting to ensure that it doesn’t shrink after you’ve made your pillow case.
Consider adding a monogram or embroidery to personalize your pillow case.
Make matching shams or a bedspread to complete your bedding set.
Experiment with different fabrics, such as silk or linen, for a luxurious feel.
