How to Make a Pillowcase

If you’ve been looking for a fun, quick, and satisfying beginner sewing project — this class is the perfect start! Join Jess Hutchinson at LullCo Design Studio in Ann Arbor, MI and learn how to make your very own custom pillowcase from start to finish.

What you’ll do:

• Learn to measure and cut fabric accurately for your pillow size.

• Practice straight stitching, hemming, and French seams for a professional finish.

• Explore fabric combinations and techniques that make your pillowcase look store-bought (but better!).

• Use your own fabric or choose from our in-studio fabric wall filled with bright colors and cozy patterns.

• Get hands-on instruction from Jess, a patient and creative teacher who loves helping beginners feel confident behind the machine.

Who this class is for:

• Complete beginners who’ve never sewn before.

• Anyone who’s taken Sewing Machine Basics and wants a first real guided project.

• DIYers and home-decor lovers who want to add a handmade touch to their space.

What you’ll walk out with:

• A finished, ready-to-use pillowcase you sewed yourself.

• The ability to cut, measure, and sew straight seams with confidence.

• A pattern you can recreate at home for gifts, decor, or matching sets.

• The confidence to tackle more sewing projects at LullCo (like our quilting and upholstery classes).
