pure linen pillowcase sewing model 11

Linen is a popular fabric choice for pillowcases due to its durability, breathability, and luxurious feel. If you are looking to sew your own pure linen pillowcase, model 11 is a great option. This model features a classic envelope closure, making it easy to remove and wash the pillowcase.

To begin sewing your pure linen pillowcase, you will need the following materials:

– 1 yard of pure linen fabric
– Matching thread
– Scissors
– Pins
– Sewing machine
– Iron

Start by washing and ironing your linen fabric to remove any wrinkles and shrinkage. Cut two pieces of fabric measuring 20 inches by 30 inches each. These will be the front and back pieces of your pillowcase.

Place the two fabric pieces right sides together, aligning the edges. Pin around the edges to secure the fabric in place. Sew a 1/2 inch seam around the edges, leaving a small opening on one side for turning the pillowcase right side out.

Trim the corners of the pillowcase to reduce bulk, then turn the pillowcase right side out through the opening. Use a point turner or chopstick to push out the corners and smooth out the edges.

Press the pillowcase flat with an iron, making sure that the seams are crisp and the edges are even. Topstitch around the entire pillowcase, close to the edge, to secure the opening and give the pillowcase a finished look.

To create the envelope closure, fold the top edge of the back piece of the pillowcase down by 4 inches. Fold the bottom edge of the front piece up by 2 inches to overlap with the back piece. Pin in place and topstitch along the sides to secure the envelope closure.

Your pure linen pillowcase is now complete and ready to use. The envelope closure makes it easy to insert and remove a pillow, while the high-quality linen fabric will provide a luxurious feel and long-lasting durability. Experiment with different linen colors and patterns to create a personalized pillowcase that suits your style and decor.

With a few simple sewing techniques and quality materials, you can create a beautiful pure linen pillowcase that will add a touch of elegance to your bedroom. Whether you are a beginner or experienced sewer, model 11 is a versatile and timeless design that will enhance your sleep experience and home decor.
