T-Shirt Pillowcase Sewing Tutorial


It is recommended to change and wash your pillowcase every few days. Changing and washing your pillowcase can prevent damage to the skin and hair. You will also prevent allergies from dust mites. Changing your pillowcase to a clean pillowcase will help you sleep better. In today's sewing tutorial, you can make a pillowcase using two old t-shirts.

This sewing tutorial is terrific for beginners. Using different colored t-shirts to make this pillowcase will make your pillow be the focus of your bed. This sewing project will take about one hour if you are sewing by hand. However, it will take less than an hour if you use a sewing machine.  Here are the sewing instructions in making this pillowcase by hand without a sewing machine.



Materials:
2 Old T-Shirts
Embroidery Thread
Scissors
Embroidery Needle
Sewing Machine (Optional)
Sewing pins or safety pins (Optional)

Iron and Ironing Board

First, wash and dry two old t-shirts. Next, cut off the sleeves and the top part of the t-shirts. Second, put one t-shirt onto one side of the pillow. Third, put the second t-shirt to the other side of the pillow. Make sure the t-shirt fabric is upside down before sewing by hand.

Fourth, fold the middle sides of the fabric and sew the fabric. Use safety pins or sewing pins to guide you while you sew by hand.  Fifth, continue sewing both sides of the fabric. Sixth, once the middle section of the fabric is sewn, choose one side to sew the pillowcase. Leave one side of the fabric open for inserting the pillow.

Seventh, sew the bottom portion of the fabric. Last, remove the pillowcase from the pillow. Iron the pillowcase and insert the pillow inside the pillowcase. Then, you are ready to use your new pillowcase. Here are more resources about sewing pillowcases.
