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!

Google:

euro square pillowcase

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?).
