Step 6. Cut a length of 3/4″ elastic to your final waist measurement, and fasten a safety pin on one end.
Use the safety pin to help you thread the elastic through the waistband casing. Pull both ends of the elastic out of the casing, and overlap them by 1/4″. Sew the elastic together using your sturdiest stitch. Them smooth the elastic back inside the waistband casing, and sew the opening shut using the same stitch that you used to sew it originally.

That’s so sweet! I love the idea of one in my size for the spring. I still have a bunch of vintage cases from my grandmother too! Thanks so much for this, I’ll be linking.
I can totally see this look as one that would look really great on a lot of adults, too–not me, but a lot of other adults. I warn you, though–those vintage linen pillowcases are a little on the thin side, know what I mean? Slips and linings are our friends!
