1. With right sides together, pin the two pieces of fabric that you want to join along the edge that you want to seam.
2. Sew the seam with a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance, making sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of your seam.
3. Trim any extra threads so they don't get caught in the next seam. Clip the corners just a bit (nowhere near the stitch line).
4. Turn the pillow case so wrong sides of the fabric face out and the seams are on the "inside." Press the edges with an iron so everything is nice and crisp and smooth as possible.
5. Sew the seam again, this time with a 3/8 inch - 1/2 inch seam allowance, enclosing the trimmed seam allowance within the seam. Backstitch at the beginning and end of your seam.
8. Turn the pillowcase right side out and press the seam again.
Congratulations, you have now created a French seam! The raw edges are now enclosed within the seam, creating a neat finish.
