Step 2Cutting
Stack the 2 pillowcases on top of each other. They may not be exactly the same size but will probably be close.
Measure 20" from the bottom and slice off the top finished edge. The top edge usually has piping or some nice trim. This piece will become the outside pocket.
You've also just cut the lining and that remaining top finished piece will be cut down for the interior pocket. Also, this piece provides the fabric for the handles.
Handles:
No ribbon: Cut a strip 3" wide from the extra lining piece (raw edge side) leaving the finished edge intact. Tnis piece will be approximately 40" and you'll be cutting it in half to make 2 handles. For now cut one of the seams open as it's a tube.
Ribbon: You'll be using the lining fabric as a facing for the ribbon. I used 1 1/2" ribbon so I cut a piece 2" wide. 1 1/2" plus a turn under of 1/4" on each side of the ribbon.
