We got some new pillowcases and the pillowcases are way too long for our pillows. I looked around a couple years ago for longer pillows (reasonably priced, as we have others that we use to sleep) but could not find any so we returned our new set of sheets. But I founds some really pretty pillowcases so I want to try to find longer pillows. The pillow cases set says "standard/queen" but they would hang off our standard pillows.

They're king sized pillows. You should be able to find them in any store. I got a two pack at Costco for something like 12 bucks.
ETA - scratch that. I should have looked things up before I posted. Mine are king size (20x36) but there are queen sized pillows too (20x30). I've never noticed them in stores but google tells me they're widely available.

Another option is to have the pillowcases shortened to your pillows.

I would just shorten the pillowcases to fit.

Another option is to have the pillowcases shortened to your pillows. And yet another option is to tuck the excess material back into the pillow. We have standard size pillows with king sized pillowcases so that is what I do. Bonus is that the pillowcases don't shift and fall off.  ETA: Like this-  |

Thanks for the suggestions! My friend can sew, so I will ask her if she could shorten them. If it's simple, that would be great! If not, I will tuck in the excess length. I didn't think of any of this! I knew you all would come up with ideas.

Lately I've been seeing queen-sized pillows in stores. I think maybe Target was one, and perhaps Kolh's.

Shorten the pillowcase. I do all of mine cause I have king size bed but prefer regular sized pillows. Turn pillowcase wrong side out. Measure and make one seam across the sewn end and cut off. Done. Easy peasy!
