Pillowcases - How To Alter Size?

Greetings gang!

Novice getting back into sewing after not having touched a machine in years. Must have been those home economic classes back at school with all those aprons and pull on skirts which turned me off! *LOL*

Any who, have just landed an older Pfaff 1222 and am chomping at the bit for small simple projects to do.

Sitting in my linen press are some NIB pillowcases which are king sized, though our beds take standard (they are lovely and were on sale, sadly the shop didn't have standard, so nabbed the king sized instead). Since am starting off my re-entry into sewing by tackling some of the long put off mending and altering of household linens, think this would be an excellent project to start off with. Problem is one is not exactly sure how to go about it. The pillowcases are made the standard way of one folded edge, and two serged/overlocked seams on the sides. IIRC my Pfaff does have various zig-zag stitches, and may even do a blindhem (if one can find the required foot), but would like some pointers.

Thanks all, Happy Holiday weekend!
