The first morning, she commented that she woke up and wondered where her stripes were (from her usual pillowcase). Then she remembered!
Here's an up-close of the peace and love fabric. I would have selected it back in 1969 or so!
I use the rolled sausage method to make these, and then do a French seam for the side and bottom. That way all seams are encased. I should do a tutorial sometime. It's much like the one on this web site, where I learned about the sausage method.

But I do a French seam. This site is almost how I make mine.

But I make my French seam all in one with a pivot, so I can trim up the corner to reduce bulk. I really should do a tut.

I hope you do a tutorial. I've seen some but I'd like to know how you do the pivot and reduce bulk on your French seams. I like the fabric your granddaughter chose!
Lovely blog, happy spring, greeting from Belgium
