Pillowcases for Euro square pillows?
 

One of the first things I did when we returned from France was buy a pair of Euro-square pillows. Now I'm having much difficulty in finding pillowcases for them--there are plenty of shams, but what I want is actual pillowcases (preferably the ones that button in back or at least tuck in). Does anyone have a source for these?

You're right they're difficult to get here. I usually get mine in the UK but I've found some at TJMaxx and Pottery Barn. White ones are sometimes available in the 'pillow protector' section but I avoid the ones with zips.

I'd think they would be easy to make. Even if you don't sew, fabric glue works wonders for me!

Some options come up.

Try Ikea.

If I tried to make a square pillowcase it would look like a trapezoid! Trust me, I can cook and I can write, but anything resembling sewing is best left to My 7th-grade sewing teacher would spin her in her grave at the thought.

We got ours from The Company Store, through their catalogue, but they are online.

I know what you mean, Underhill: cooking, writing, no problem. Sewing? No way. I used to do my sister's English homework, and make her do my sewing homework. And how old does that make me, that I had to take sewing in high school?

Check Landsend. I did a search on "square pillowcase" and 12 choices came up.

Ikea carries them.

I got some at Tuesday Morning, but it is hit and miss.

I've bought them at Bed Bath and Beyond. That's also about the only place to find duvet covers,european style.

I just remembered that we now have a Tuesday Morning shop; this will be a good reason to check it out.

Land's End does have the cases--I just have to call to find out the size, as I need the 27" variety.

Why didn't I look at Ikea when we were there last Sunday to buy another twin-sized duvet and cover??? Dumb, dumb! We've solved out problem of getting stuck beneath one duvet by each having our own, which gives me much more freedom: I can no longer be pinned down on one side by my husband and on the other by my dear cat (do we have a DC abbreviation here?).
