Pillowcases 101

Last year the grand-girls pieced squares which became quilts for their doll beds.  This year they decided they wanted to do pillowcases, creating one also for the little Fin-man himself.  We did the fold-over, french seam method.  I did the rotary cutting.  They pinned and sewed seam twice (Fig. 1-2).  Voila!  Pillowcases! (Fig. 3).  Next year, they say they want to do a bed-size quilt top, working out of my many scrap baskets - bits and pieces, orphan blocks, etc.  I may have to do some pre-cutting for this one!
