HOW TO MAKE A BURRITO METHOD PILLOW CASE
As I was doing a little bit of research, I was surprised to find that there are quite a few different names that these simple pillowcases go by.
Sometimes they're called a burrito, sausage or a hot dog pillow case. Some people call them magic pillowcases. Still others call them rolled or tube pillowcases.
As far as I can tell they're all the same thing and they're SO easy to make!

Leave one short edge unpinned for the pillow opening. Using your sewing machine or needle and thread, sew all four edges together, following the pinned lines. Remember to backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam for added durability. Step 4: Creating the magic opening With the four edges sewn, turn the pillowcase inside out, revealing the right side of the fabric. Push out the corners gently to achieve a clean, crisp look. At the short edge left open, fold the contrasting fabric towards the right side of the pillowcase, creating a decorative band. Press and pin it in place. Step 5: Finishing touches To complete the magic pillowcase, topstitch along the folded edge of the contrasting fabric. This will secure it in place and add a finished touch. Remove any remaining pins and press the pillowcase one final time to give it a polished appearance. Congratulations! You have successfully created a magical pillowcase using our simple instructions. Repeat these steps to make more pillowcases and explore different fabric combinations for a unique and personalized touch. Enjoy the magic of your new pillowcase! Best wishes, The Magic Pillowcase Instructions Team.

The "Magic piowcase instructions" were extremely disappointing. The instructions were poorly written and confusing, making it almost impossible to understand how to perform the magic tricks. Additionally, the tricks themselves were lackluster and unimpressive. I would not recommend wasting your money on this product.
