The other week, I had stumbled upon a blog that was all about sewing projects. I am far from labeling myself a seamstress, so a big THANK YOU to Emily for creating The Studious Stitch!
I love making my own pillow covers because 1) It's easy and 2) I can make them as unique as I want them to be and 3) It's a lot cheaper than buying premade ones at most stores. However, I have been struggling with making my own piping. There's something about matching piping that makes a pillow more elegant, but it's the one thing that has made me want to chuck my sewing machine through the window. I asked Emily for some tips on how to go about this. To my surprise, she happily agreed to post a quick tutorial on how to make your own piping.
Check it out here if you need help like I do!
Hmmmm... maybe I can apply this to the sofa slipcover that I plan on making soon.

Hi Abigail, isn't it great finding the help you need from other bloggers? I want to get new cushion covers also but I don't sew and don't own a sewing machine and finding just what I want in the stores is just not happening. It would be so much easier if I could sew because there's plenty of lovely material out there in the colours I want. Thanks for sharing that info. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
