Now don't faint.......I am actually posting in the sewing section and no it is not a mistake..LOL..I bought some fabrics that I thought would make nice pillow covers and found a you tube video on making an envelope case....this is my first attempt and am quite pleased with it......will see how these go over in the show, I only bought 10 pillow inserts to start, these are too hard to store if they don't sell.....

Looks like Polar Fleece nice and soft and cuddly. I am sure they will sell well.

Nice job, Vicki...if you don't want to tackle zips, then it must be buttons and buttonholes!

Well, I nearly did faint - I am so impressed with your skills Vicki. I can see all sorts of things with this! Maybe you could do an ITH version.

I see Sue has suggested Zips!!!! And Kim suggested buttons and buttonholes - endless possibilities, he he he, ha ha ha!

Only teasing, it looks great. Love Chris

Expanding the Horizon? Knowing you, I would not be surprised if we see a lot more sewing in the future. Good for you. I wish you a whole lot of success with your market.

I do the little travel pillows in teacher prints for teachers' sore backs. (Too much sitting in hard chairs.) Nice for Teacher Christmas or Teacher Year-End gifts. I only take 4 or 5 pillows to a show, but a lot more pillowcases. I find lots of folk need a new pillowcase for a small pillow they already own, so the pillowcases alone sell well.

Kreative Kiwi has a tutorial with the zipper. I did one and it turned out great!

Looks great. They will sell well.
Just a thought,...Maybe you could offer the covers separately for people that already have the inserts. You could keep a few of the inserts for display cushions and to sell to those that want to buy them from you and it will save you time and space.

These are adorable! I think they will go over big with the moms. The cover is removable and washable when the kids get tem dirty ! Good luck!
