NOTE: I've already done a pillow case, but this pattern is different, so counts as a new project.

Instructions: I have a body pillow that is so cozy and wonderful, but it's red. Not that I don't like red, but everything in my room is blue. This splash of red just wasn't good in my room. I had purchased curtains for all my windows, but this curtain panel had a long ribbon off it that I realized wouldn't be safe for the children. I couldn't use it as a curtain. I decided to use the curtain as a pillowcase for my body pillow.
- First I folded the curtain in two and sight measured it compared to my pillow.
- I cut the extra material off, leaving the other three sides. Since they were finished edges, I wouldn't have to hem them.
- With the curtain folded in two with right-sides together, sew around two sides, including the raw edge. Leave the top open in order to put the pillow inside.
- Surge or zigzag stitch the raw edge to prevent fraying.
- Turn and insert pillow.
