For making a pillowcase, your best bet is to use a tightly woven 100% cotton like you would use for quilting. The price will vary widely from a dollar or two per yard to ten or more a yard.

This pillowcase is one of my favorite projects because not only it is easy and quick, but it also makes life a bit more pleasant! I show you how to make a pillowcase that is different from standard pillowcases!
