Thanks to everyone for suggestions when I asked about pillow cases...but now my delima...I have been investigating the size of a standard pillow case. A lot of sizes from those that make handmade cases, I looked at others sold on Etsy, and they are this same size...21x32 (give or take) and when I googled "measurement for standard pillow " and went to a few pillow manufactures....it was agreed that size was 21(wide)x32(long). So that is what I made. I cut the fabric 42 wide and then folded it to 21 wide finished and 32 long. I put the case I made on my QUEEN size pillow...and it not only fits, but has a little extra width! My pillow I know is 2 years old and had been washed many times and is a bit flat, but that would (seem to me) make the pillow wider than it was when bought, but a 21" wide or 42 around...is to big for a queen pillow! Standards are smaller, so why does the standard size case fit a queen pillow! Even the length of the case was plenty on the queen pillow.



So.. anyone have any thoughts about this? I want to be selling the pillowcases...and certainly don't want them huge on a standard pillow...they are for kids. I don't have a standard size pillow, but the queen I do have...I would think the case would be snug around the pillow and is is not only not snug, but a bit "extra" on the sides!
