When self drafting patterns, one has to rely on sewing construction experience to complete the project. There are no assembly and fabric layout instructions like those that come with store bought patterns. This is probably one of the most challenging aspects of using self drafted patterns.
When designing the pillowcase patterns, I had no idea how much ease was needed. I chose a half inch on each side thinking that would make it easier to insert the pillow. For the travel pillows, the ease worked well. For the sofa pillows, I did not use any ease. For a more "stuffed" pillow, I may subtract some from each side....probably 1/4 inch.
Since I was planning on making several matching pillows, I made a paper pattern for each size to use each time.
