Pillow case

I made a pillow case today. I haven't sewed in ages it seems. I got a brand new sewing machine last year and it sat in the box until today. I had picked up some pretty vintage fabric at a thrift shop for inspiration. I followed the tutorial here:http://www.sewmamasew.com/2013/07/easy-pillowcase-tutorial/. After almost three hours (I did have to set up the machine. For some reason, the genius who put the machine together, stuck a plastic bobbin the the shuttle and I had a heck of a time getting it out! It wouldn't release. I finally thought of using a paper clip. Then I had to wind the bobbin and thread the machine. Then I had to pin the material and sew it. Then the machine kept jamming because the material was thin and it didn't like it. It came out kind of narrow because I just used one of the 1 yard fabrics I picked up, but I squeezed my pillow in there! I'm proud of my self for sticking through it and not giving up.
