You know, nice and simple like in stores. But home made.

I would figur one yard per pillowcase.

And maybe a half a yard or something if you want a different piece for the accent at the top by the opening? I'll probably go simple and just keep it all one color though.

2 yards of 44" fabric (for 1 pair of Standard Cases) 2.25 yards of 44" fabric (for one pair of Queen Cases) 2.5 yards of 44" fabric (for 1 pair of King Cases)

Thank you! I need to ask the lady to change my order from 1 yard to 3 then, cause I want a hard for myself for something else.

Haha, no just an amusing typo.

Why not measure the pillowcases you already have?

SHHHH Man ! Don't tell the Women that ! Yer gonna blow the best gig Men ever had ! How to figure out things, geez, I bet you tattled on yourself when you were a kid. T^T

because depending on the seam allowance and how the fabric is cut on the bias or pattern.. you need a larger piece of fabric... than the actual case... that does not allow for a large seam allowance if you are doing french press seams etc...

Just one, but I would recommend making it in the house rather than the yard. Seriously though, I normally, for bed sized pillows, go with 2 yards. Same with most throw pillows. Round (cylindrical) accent pillows I can often get by with 1 - 1.5.

2 yards for just 1 or 2 yards for 2? quote: ORIGINAL: BKSir Just one, but I would recommend making it in the house rather than the yard.

I would double it. I was going off of just 1 pillow recipes.

Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: How many yards of fabric do I need to make a standard size pillowcase? (11/6/2011 12:12:04 AM)
So why 2 yards for 1?

BKSir -> RE: How many yards of fabric do I need to make a standard size pillowcase? (11/6/2011 12:23:51 AM)
I like to have extra seam allowance, and tend to make them a bit large as I like big pillows. I also like to make the cases with the full sides, not just the folded over type cases. Full sides and folding flap for the opening (kind of like a sandwich baggie).

Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: How many yards of fabric do I need to make a standard size pillowcase? (11/6/2011 12:25:11 AM)
Ok, yeah I can see that.
