Today I taught the boys how to make pillowcases. I have been doing a bunch for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, so I asked them if they wanted to learn, too. Being the enlightened, modern men that they are, they agreed.
One day, their wives will be so impressed. I can hear it now: "You can cook? And you know how to do laundry? And you can SEW? Holy crap, I don't even know how to sew!"
So, it will either be a major selling point for them to get hot babes, or it will make the chicks question their masculinity. Hard to say at this juncture. But in the meantime, they will have totally awesome pillowcases to dream on.
Instructions:
Take a one-yard piece of fabric and lay it flat, selvage edges together, right sides together. Run one end through the serger, turn fabric and run long edge through the serger. Trim top with scissors to cut off fringy things. Fold over 1 inch and press to form hem for casing. Fold over 2 inches and press again. Sew with regular sewing machine about 1/4 inch from edge. Turn right side out and voila! You have the pillowcase!
**Note: Make sure the pattern on your fabric looks OK with selvages together. This works best with allover prints.**
