The sizes listed here are for a king-size pillow. You can easily alter the dimensions by measuring a pillowcase that fits your pillow and adding 5â³ to the height and width. For one king-size pillow I used: 1 piece 26â³ x 36â³. 1 piece 26â³ x 35â³. 1 piece 26â³ x 9â³ (I sewed the narrow leftover strips of fabric from the other two pieces together to make this third piece, allowing one pillow to be made from 1.5 yards of fabric total. Since this piece is mostly hidden, it worked great.)
Fold the bottom part of the letter up. Take the bottom edge of the page. Fold it up and over so that the bottom edge lines up about one third the way up the page. If you arenât sure how much this is, take your envelope and place it underneath the middle of your letter to use as a guide.
Item to be hemmed. Sew a Double-Fold Hem: 1. Fold the material over 1/2 inch with wrong sides together. **Note: For this example, we are working with a 1/2- inch double hem. You can change the size to whatever you need. 2. Fold it over 1/2 inch again to encase the raw edge inside of the hem; pin in place.3. Sew the hem about 1/8 inch from the folded edge of the fabric. Backstitch one or two stitches at each end to secure the threads. Pull out pins as you go, so you donât sew over them. 4. Trim your threads. 5. Iron the hem flat.. Fold it over 1/2 inch again to encase the raw edge inside of the hem; pin in place. 3. Sew the hem about 1/8 inch from the folded edge of the fabric. Backstitch one or two stitches at each end to secure the threads. Pull out pins as you go, so you donât sew over them.
