My first sewing project


                                                       SQUARE PILLOW CASE
Here's what you need to make one
                                                      *Fabric of course depends on the size of the pillow you are gonna make, i made 16x16inch pillow, so you will be needing two layers of 17x17inch fabric, well if you are making a smaller pillow say like 14x14inch just add 1inch for the seam allowance, means you will be needing 15 x15 inch fabric.
                                                      *Matching thread for your fabric.
This is the wrong side of the front piece of the pillow measuring 17x17 inch.
This is the wrong side of the back piece, I have cut into two unequal halves to make it like a envelope and sealed the edges by folding 1/4inch twice, so make sure you cut the back piece leaving extra couple of inches.
Pin it along the edges, if you can sew it without pinning just go for it, since this is my first one so i wanted to be extra careful, so i pinned it.

Sew it along the edges leaving 1/2inch allowance, and double stitch around the corners for extra secure.

Cut across the corners like this, so that when you insert the pillow or poly fil your corners are crisp and sharp.
Now its time to flip your fabric to the right side, vola! this is how it will look like when your done.

Press along the seam and the body of the pillow case to get rid of the fabric fold.
Insert the pillow and you are done.
This is how the finished pillow would look like.
