In reply to Julie Jacks. Hi so there’s two seams one running along bottom where you sewed the two cut pieces back together and one along the opposite side where it was assembled?

Audrey and Diane,
Thank you for the beautifully worded and well-photographed tutorial. I am an experienced sewer but maybe I was rusty when I attacked this “simple” project. ARRRGGGG If only I had realized that the seam where the 2 directional pieces are sewn together, become one of the SIDE SEAMS! (something I would have wanted French seamed). All that sewing and finagling of widths/lengths and I finished, looked at it and ….what’s that???……I have a raw edge side seam, NOOOOOO! so I go back to the instructions and notice the mention of this seam but assumed it was the inside far end seam. GAHHH……unfortunately, I made it 1/4″ so I went back and double stitched it to prevent further unraveling.

I’ll make diagrams for next time and know not to not French seam it, if I use a directional again. For all you other cutters/sewers….make that 21″ cut longer or add onto that edge or like the authors said, make the cuff wider ….but I don’t like the cuffs wider so I’d add onto the fabric, either a coordinating print (think, what quilters do when we’re short a piece) or and an additional piece of main fabric. The pillowcase comes out a little wide/high (measuring from top to bottom if lying flat) but that’s easy to reduce (I used a full down/feather pillow)

In reply to Jean Horner. What you have described is the regular method for the burrito pillowcase, which usually results in the print being sideways. In our method, you are changing the shape of the rectangle from horizontal to vertical, in order to rotate the directional print. Does that help?
