You don’t need a serger to get professional results – your regular sewing machine is all it takes! This French seam pillowcase tutorial from Threads Monthly shows you exactly how to create neat, polished cases with no raw edges. It is a fantastic project for beginners who want to practice sewing straight lines while making something truly useful for the home.
Following this French seam pillowcase tutorial, you can whip up an envelope-style cover in about an hour. The clever inner flap hides the pillow insert just like a store-bought version, and the French seams enclose all the fabric edges for a clean, high-end finish that won’t fray in the wash. The guide also walks you through making different sizes step by step, so you can custom-fit every pillow in your house!
