Christmas Sewing (Pillowcases)- Part 1

Using an internet pillowcase tutorial...

...like this one...


                                            ...for the 'burrito' sewing method...



                                         ...I pin three fabric pieces together...



               ...(a top section, narrow decorative piece and main body portion)...



                                               ...and roll up the largest piece...



                                    ...pinning it within the folded-over top section...



                                              ...to form a festive cotton burrito! :)



                                             The layers are stitched together...



                                       ...and the core is pulled out and unfurled...



                     ...resulting in an assemblage that requires only two more seams...

                                           ...to turn it into a finished pillowcase! :)



                                     Next time: I sew French seams. Oooh la la! ;)

I've seen a "burrito method" for putting a duvet cover on - clearly some clever people have been developing a whole range of burrito tricks!
