Great way to use leftover fabric.
If you're like most people, you probably have a stash of leftover fabric from other sewing projects. This tube pillow case tutorial is a great way to use up that leftover fabric and create something new and useful.
You can use any type of fabric to make a tube pillow case, but lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen work best. You can also use heavier fabrics like velvet or corduroy, but you may need to adjust the sewing instructions accordingly.
To make a tube pillow case, you'll need to cut two pieces of fabric that are the same size. The size of the fabric pieces will depend on the size of pillow you want to make. For a standard-sized pillow, you'll need two pieces of fabric that are 20 inches by 36 inches.
Once you have cut the fabric pieces, you'll need to sew them together. Start by sewing the two short edges of the fabric pieces together, using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Then, turn the fabric tube right side out and sew the two long edges together, again using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
Once you've sewn the seams, you'll need to insert a pillow into the tube. You can use any type of pillow, but a down or feather pillow will work best.
Customizable size and design.

To change the size of the pillow case, simply adjust the size of the fabric pieces that you cut. For a larger pillow case, you'll need to cut larger fabric pieces. For a smaller pillow case, you'll need to cut smaller fabric pieces.
You can also choose any fabric you like for your pillow case. Lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen work best, but you can also use heavier fabrics like velvet or corduroy. You can also choose a fabric with a print or pattern that you like.
