Square Pillowcases

I made the journey to Ikea to get square pillows but they didn't have any cases in stock and I live too far away to go back.

Does anyone know where I can get some decent quality ones in a high street store or supermarket? I'm willing to pay up to £10 per pillowcase.

Thank you

    Do you own a sewing machine? if not, a needle and thread? You could just sew the ends of a normal sized pillow (presuming they are the same width) and then cut off the excess fabric. If your worried about it freying, get some hemming strips to iron on the edges which can normally be bought in the same place you buy your needles and thread (supermarkets, market stalls, habadasharys, ebay...)

    They're bigger than normal pillows at 65 x 65cm.

    I will eventually run some up on the sewing machine but have just moved house and haven't time to make any so will just buy some for now.
