pillow cases with envelope back

well i got lazy with taking pics but i think it's pretty straightforward.

basically i had bed pillows taht i was using for our couch so for the case i wanted it to have an envelope back instead of an open side

Step 1 Basic patterning

i traced a pillow case onto the wrong side (ie the side that will be on the INSIDE of the completed case) of the fabric

i just made a marking on the corners.
now remember to leave about 5/8 of an inch for seam allowance (this means that you leave a little space between the tracing of the case and where you actually sew it otehrwise it'll be too small when you turn it inside out)

now for my next cases i got smarter and realizing that the case i traced was much larger than my actual pillows i made it a bit smaller
