Teaching Kids to Sew - Project #4 Pillowcase

Teaching Kids to Sew - Project #4 Pillowcase





Materials needed:

Main fabric - 27" x  42"
     Coordinating fabric - 11" x 42"




With right sides together, pin two fabrics together. Roll main fabric up, wrap the coordinating fabric around and pin again. Sew all 3 layers together. 




Turn right side out and iron.





Top stitch close to the seam.




With wrong sides together, sew a 1/4" seam across the side and bottom edges. Turn.




With right sides together, sew a 3/8" seam across the side and bottom edges. This finishes it off with a french seam which makes it stronger and more durable.





This project takes a little more skill for beginning sewers to complete but with the proper guidance it can be easily accomplished.


Stay tuned for more!
