Now the directions are very simple.
The cuff ( black section in picture) is 10" X length of material. (42" to 45")
The patterned fabric is cut to 26 1/2" X length of material (42" to 45")
These are the only measurements that you need and now you can follow along with the video.!
CORRECTION!!
In the video I say to put both right sides of the fabric down, this is incorrect. the right sides should be facing each other together. I am so sorry for any confusion and thank you Tammy for catching my error!

I have fabric for two pillowcases that I haven't gotten around to sewing yet. I do have a question for you... In your video you mention that the cuff and patterned fabric should both be right sides down. Should that be right sides together?
You have inspired me to finish up my pillowcase project. Thanks for the video tutorial!
Yes you are correct, right sides together! Cindy
Thank you Tammie!!
Hi, I've sewn a number of these type of pillowcases but always did the first sewn length with my regular sewing machine, then serged the side and bottom to finish them. Now I know I can serge the whole project.
Also, your little tip of folding down the serged corner before serging that last length is so helpful. Thanks a bunch!

You are so welcome Helen, thank you for writing!! Cindy
Great tutorial! I just got a serger and have been looking for easy things to make to get started. Thanks a bunch.
Do you prewash your fabrics for this project?
I just got a serger for christmas and thought this,would be a great project to start with. Do you leave your blades down and cut off the edge when you serge the pillow case or put the blades up? Thanks so much!
