    Hi Juliette,
    In step 1, I think you forgot to tell us to sew the two pieces together and the size of the seam allowance. Since I quilt, I’m used to a 1/4″ seam, but you may mean a 5/8″ seam. That makes step 2 a little confusing, but I see in the picture that there is a sewn seam. Thanks,

      Oops! That’s my fault, not Juliette’s; at the very end of step 1 it should say “Stitch.” I’ll fix the PDF and get it put back right away. Thanks for catching that! Jo

    In reading step one, i am confused. You want to cut one of the 12″ X 16″ pieces into a 6″ X 16″ and a 10″ X 16″ piece. That doesn’t add up. Then I am supposed to pin the 4″ X 12″ print on the long side. Do you mean to cut the piece into two pieces, one 6″ X 12″ rectangle and one 10″ X 12″ rectangle?

      Sorry – Another editing error. That should read “cut one of the 12″ x 16″ pieces into a 6″ x 12″ and a 10″ x 12″ piece.

    I love this pillow cover. How may I obtain the pattern?

      Hi Joyce – Just below the description of the project, above the yellow box, there’s a link to the project. On my computer it’s in red, underlined. Click on the link and a PDF of the instructions will open. Happy sewing! Jo

    It seems that the last instructions of the pattern are missing in the pdf. The last step listed is step 4, and the last thing it says to do is “Pin to Secure”.

      I’ve replaced the PDF file; you should find four pages now. Jo

    The instructions stop with step 4 on page 2 of the PDF file. There is a 3rd page, but there is nothing on it. Where is the rest of the instructions?

    This cannot be all the instructions. Page 3 didn’t even load and I’ve tried it several times. Did anyone else have trouble?

    When I am in the project link, I am missing page 3 of the instructions. I can print the PDF file, but won’t until I can get page 3. Thank you.

    I see the entire pattern now, thank you!

    Thanks for fixing the problem with all the pages showing up. I have it now and have printed it. I plan to make 4 of these as my daughter’s family is taking a long plane trip this summer. The kids are 2 and 4 and I am hoping this will entice them to sleep on the plane. I know my daughter will be happy to have these for sanitary purposes! Thank you for a really useful and cute pattern.

    P.S. to my above comment. I am also going to learn to make mitered corners. This has been on my to do list for a long time! What a great project to learn on.
