Abstract: A configuration for a unitary pillow sham (10a) to cover individually a plurality of pillows with a corresponding plurality of individual pillow pockets secured as one collective unit comprising an elongated one-piece length of fabric folded and secured at predetermined locations to define a plurality of pillow-receiving pockets configured in a side-by-side connecting, horizontal row and further to define vertical side flanges (36a-b). A selvage or hem first is secured about the perimeter of the one-piece fabric length. The fabric length is then folded about itself into three sections (14), (16), and (18) with first section (14) folded about a fold line (20) upon second section (16) so that first section (14) and second section (16) are in contact with each other, third section (18) folded about a fold line (22) upon second section (16) so that third section (18) is in partial contact with second section (16) and partially overlaps and contacts first section (14).
