Mending Fraying Edges on Sheets and Pillowcases.

My boss gave me these sheets and pillow cases that are fraying. However, they are all fraying right on the edge where everything is folded over. My current idea is to do a machine zigzag about 1cm from the edge to prevent further fraying, and then do a whipstitch by hand to close the rips in the fold. I am wondering if anyone thinks this is the solution or if I should do something else. I hope the pictures provide enough context, I'm not a beginner at sewing but not an expert either.
