First of all, enthusiastic thanks to everyone who has posted ideas about different styles of pillow bags that we can make.
Robin, great drawing. It came through perfectly for me. About your question on whether the two flaps that fold over really hold the pillow, I should think a couple of lengths of strategically placed Velcro strips would solve this potential problem.
