How exactly do you make a French seam? I don't have a serger either and don't want the seems to fray.

Hope I can explain this....After you sew the tube and pull the inside out, then fold the pillow case in half, WRONG sides together, and sew 1/4" seam. Press the seam and turn it inside out, so that the right sides are together. Sew a 1/2" seam. Turn it and press it and you're all done.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I have 5 grandchildren who LOVE new pillowcases! The way I was making them was not nearly as nice or as much fun!

Your all very welcome.

I am on spring break next week and hope to make some of these in between studying for the exam first day back. UGH!

Little lost on the French seam thing. Never seen it done so will look on YouTube to see if it is on there. Thanks.

Eddie just posted a bunch more he made and I believe someone else on here did to. Try the SEARCH above and bet you can find them.

See ya tom.
