Use ruffles to make pillowcases, which are soft and soothing. Fabric furniture decorated with ruffles has a natural romantic atmosphere. Are you excited? Let’s take a look at how to make ruffle pillowcases by hand.
Ruffle pillowcase material:
Choose fabrics according to personal preference, thin cotton rope for making ruffles, sewing machine, and scissors.
How to make ruffle pillowcases:
1) Cut the front and back pieces of the pillowcase according to the size of the pillow core. The length and width of the cut pieces are each 2.5 cm longer than the pillow core; the length of the ruffle is 2 to 3 times the circumference of the pillow core, and the width of the ruffle is 6 to 12 cm. Place the front side of the ruffle fabric facing each other, sew the two ends to form a ring, then fold the ring-shaped fabric in half from top to bottom, and divide it into four equal sections. Cut 1 cm from the edge of the fabric as a mark between each section.
2) Put a strong thin cotton rope (or nylon rope) into the edge of the ruffle fabric, and sew a circle with a wider Z stitch. When sewing, the thin cotton thread is in the center of the Z stitch. Place the ruffle around the front piece of the pillowcase, align the four notch marks with the midpoints of the four sides of the pillowcase, and secure with beading pins.
3) Tighten the thin cotton rope to make the ruffles appear evenly pleated, and then fix them with beading needles.
4) Sew the ruffles to the four sides of the front piece of the pillowcase.
5) Stack the back piece of the pillowcase facing the front piece, so that the ruffle edge is between the front and back pieces, sew the front and back pieces in place, leaving 20cm unstitched.
6) Turn the pillowcase from the back to the front, insert the pillow core, and baste the back to complete the production of the ruffled pillowcase.
