This life hack fits any square or rectangular pillow. Of course, if you wish, you can also process the edges of the pillowcase part and make a couple of stitches, but the fact is that such an express method works without extra effort.

Life hack: how to sew a perfectly fitting pillowcase on a pillow
Step 1
Cut out a pillowcase detail. To do this, lay the fabric on the work surface with the wrong side up and lay the pillow in the center. Wrap the upper and lower edges of the fabric by wrapping the fabric over the pillow. Measure the desired length of each edge: it is necessary to cut off the edges parallel to each other, so that when wrapping the pillow an overlap of about 10 cm or a little more is obtained.After that, if necessary, cut the right and left edges of the flap parallel to each other: left and right, there should remain a piece of fabric with a length equal to the width of your pillow. If the fabric crumbles, use zigzag scissors.
