Cutting the Top Fabric for a Pillow Case
Hi, welcome to Expert Village. I am Gretchen Soares with the Butterfly Boutique. We are going to cut the top piece first. We will need to figure out the dimension of our pillow. We have a 23 inch by 18 inch pillow. (Laughing) We are going to cut our piece 32 inches long, ending on this seam, and 27 inches tall. This one is going to be easy because we are following right outside this line. We then come in this way for the 27 inches. This piece of fabric is making our life easy because it has the nice straight lines. If your fabric does not have the straight lines, I would go draw them on. This is so you end up with a nice piece of fabric. That is going to be our top piece.
