MAKE YOUR OWN
It’s easy to make linen pillowcases. For a standard pillow (48cm x 75cm), you’ll need 50cm x 160cm of fabric. Hem both short ends, then fold the fabric with right sides together so that one hemmed edge is 15cm from the other. Pin along the side edges, then fold the 15cm flap over the other hemmed edge and pin. Sew each side seam, then turn the pillowcase right-side out.
