How to make a Pillowcase

One of our charitable projects includes making pillowcases to donate to Roof Above, a local organization working to end homelessness. They have several shelters and housing programs throughout Charlotte.

We ask that Pillowcases be standard size (20 x 26 inches) and made from 100% Cotton for ease of care.

Most take less than 30 minutes and less than a yard of fabric.

Here are a couple great tutorials and videos on how to sew one up;
