DIY. Make your own hair friendly pillowcase

Silk and polyester satin pillowcases are a lot kinder to the hair than cotton, but they can be expensive and hard to find. Luckily it's not hard to make your own!

You need:

Fabric in silk, polyester satin or some other slippery material
Scissor
Pen
Needles
Thread
Sewing machine
An old pillowcase

How to do it:

Put an old pillowcase in the right size, on the fabric.

Draw a line two cm outside the longer edge of the pillowcase.
It's not the end of the world if the line isn't perfectly straight. As you can see, mine isn't.

Put the pillowcase on top of where you just had it and continue your line.

Add 20 cm for the pocket.

Cut out the fabric.
If you're making more than one pillowcase, just place the piece you just cut out, on top of the fabric and cut after it.

Zigzag the shorter edges.

Fold the shorter edges twice and pin them as seen in the picture.

Sew a straight seem. (Both shorter edges)
If this feels hard, you can fold once, pin, sew, fold again, pin and sew, instead of folding twice at once.

Line your fabric up with the old pillowcase.
Fold it inside out, so that the top part and the fold is even with the pillowcase.

Put the fabric on top of the old pillowcase.
Align the fabric with the pillowcase and make sure that it's "folded, inside out".
Fold the remaining fabric as seen in the picture.
