Cut two thicknesses of fabric into an 18x28-inch rectangle. Place wrong side of fabric pieces face to face. Stitch a ¾-inch seam around two long sides and one short side.

On remaining short side, fold 1-inch width upward, pinning to hold. Press flat. Snip sewn corners at a 45-degree angle to about ¼-inch of point of seams. Press open all seams.

Fold fabric up 2 1/2 inches so that insides of fabric pieces are together and the raw side of the 1-inch fold is underneath, pinning every 4-5 inches to hold. Press flat. Stitch ¼-inch from top crease. Remove pins. Trim thread as needed.

Turn pillowcase right side out and stitch again 1/4-inch from seam so that there two stitch lines ¼-inch apart. Press pillowcase flat.
