The body measures 35" and the cuff is 5". I'm going use 36" for the body which will finish pretty close to the 35". I'll cut the cuff at 13" like I normally do. The pillowcase will be a little longer than the purchased one, but that is ok. I sew the cuff onto the body then cut off the selvage. That will be my width. Have fun making them. They sew up fast when you aren't making 15 at a time.Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-1872302104459706852016-09-09T20:01:24.664-04:002016-09-09T20:01:24.664-04:00Do you have the dimensions for the king size pillo...Do you have the dimensions for the king size pillow cases?

I've given several away this year to the older siblings of new babies. I like to have them on hand to give as a thinking of you gift. Some people give a quilt to someone when they've had a tragedy, I give pillowcases. I'm not fast enough to make a quilt for them.Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-3686851512044653982016-08-29T12:07:14.827-04:002016-08-29T12:07:14.827-04:00Your pillow cases are so neat!

What a wonderful picture of your hubby and grandson after finishing a hard day's work at the farm. Lucky Lucky young man! Like your Pastor's block. When I started downloading and saving my Stonfields, I too realized that each had a name.........duh! Have a great day - we are getting some sprinkles and maybe more rain later today.

I'm prepared for Christmas (except the king sized pair). I've also given some for graduations, to older siblings when a baby is born and some "Just because I care". Everyone seems to enjoy them. They're quick and easy to make, the grands love them.Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-36959100712712134962016-08-28T14:07:41.521-04:002016-08-28T14:07:41.521-04:00LOVE all those pillowcases on the line and the two...LOVE all those pillowcases on the line and the two generations of farmers photos!
