The directions were confusing!
It has been quite a while since I have sewn but the directions were confusing and needed to be more detailed. Pictures of each step would have been helpful.

Poorly Written Instructions
If you follow the instructions to the point where you add the pillow material to the cuff, your pillow will be sewn improperly. It should read: that you sew the pillow material to the cuff- right side to right side. Please correct your instructions

Good idea, but faulty instructions!
I put this pillowcase together following the instructions as I understood them and the trim ended up on the inside of the case if I had proceeded to finish the case. I picked it out and turned the body of the pillowcase wrong side up against the trim, sewed it together and finished it as instructed. Worked great.
