Allow for shrinkage on cheaply produced cotton fab
If you purchase your fabric at JOANN's, you'd better pay for at least an extra inch, maybe two, on each piece of fabric. They measure and cut so close that when you wash the cotton fabric, you will end up with significantly less fabric than required for the project. I lost at least an inch to shrinkage (assuming the fabric was cut correctly) on each piece of fabric I purchased.

Great directions !
Your directions are just fine if people READ them. Cuff is face up, main fabric face down. Works beautifully to enclose all seams! Thank you, JoAnn!!

Great tutorial!
What a great project! The seams are enclosed, so neat and tidey. Just go step by step and it turns out so nice. My grandson is going to love his tractor fabric pillowcase. Thanks so much for your instructions.

Simple project, but difficult without pictures
I thought this would be a quick, 20-minute project, but I was so confused by the instructions that it took me over an hour to finish the first time. Many of the steps in the directions (like rolling up the main fabric) didn't make sense to me until I was much further into the project. I have included a few photos that I hope will help explain it.
Tip: Use a 2.5" strip for the trim piece, and a 12" wide strip for the cuff. Proportionally it will look better, and it ensures that the pillow case will be long enough for a standard or queen pillow.

Are these directions wrong?
I tried this and when I turned the fabric the trim was inside between the cuff and the pillowcase fabric. When I basted the trim to the pillowcase fabric and then sewed the cuff to it it came out fine. I think I must have missed something.

Happy and unhappy
Happy to find instructions to make this type of pillowcase for Christmas presents. Unhappy to find out that part of the instructions are wrong. No fun taking out 80 inches of stitches! (two pillowcases)
Error: Placing the pillow body (big piece) onto the cuff is suppose to be right sides together.
