Aw hello, welcome! You are very observant 🥰 I’m slowly getting more comfortable sharing my faith on here. God bless!

@Emily Garbe I realized it was Ignatius Press Bible. My husband is a Deacon. Do you follow Fr. MIKE Schmitz?

[@diannerempel8262]

Your living room is very lovely! I like the collected look...some more modern, some antique, some new, some thrifted. I love how you persevere with the children "helping" you put down the rug...reminds me of when mine were that age.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you Dianne! 🤍 haha I have a personal goal to involve them in as much housework as I can. Takes at least double the time, but I think it’s worth it ☺️

[@wilgenbusches]

Love your reflection at the end. So glad you’re settling in and finding your way to a new community of friends ❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Me too ☺️

[@wilgenbusches]

Benjamin crawling on the carpet pad while you attempted to unfold it made me laugh so much! ❤❤❤

Great Job! I was looking for rug ideas and stumbled upon your channel. I decided to watch and as you went along describing how you incorporated pieces with history I thought, "okay, this is my type of gal" so I watched until the end. After the C.S.Lewis quote, I cried and subscribed!🥹 I love C.S. Lewis and that quote! So much so, I have an orange Siberian husky that I named Azlan.😄 I know it's not quite spelled the same as Narnia's lion, but I thought the "z" was cool. You did a wonderful job and I will continue to watch your channel! Oh, and welcome neighbor!🙋‍♀️ I'm a Floridian too!❤️

Sew the zip in first, and then the other 3 sides. Leave the zip open a little bit so you can turn it the right side out..😉

[@EmilyGarbe]

🤦🏻‍♀️ it sounds so simple and yet I always mix up the steps 😂

[@marthaswensen8202]

Emily I just found you here on YT, your living room is beautiful!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Hi Martha! So appreciate it. Thanks ☺️

[@jekalambert9412]

Always sew your zipper in FIRST, before you do the rest of the sides. With right sides of your fabric together, measure the length of the zipper placing it centered on the length of seam. Mark top and bottom of zipper with pins. Using a normal stitch length, sew from the corner of the pillow to the pull end of the zipper, then sew from the opposite corner to the bottom of the zipper (where the stopper is). Next, use a long stitch to baste the zipper part of the seam closed. Iron the seam open. Unzip the zipper. Position the top stopper of the zipper even with the end of your basting stitch making sure the pull is facing the seam. Line up the center of the zipper coil or teeth directly over the center of the basted part of the seam. Starting at the top of the zipper, use your zipper foot and a normal stitch length to stitch the first side of the zipper into place. When you get to the bottom of the zipper, stitch past the stopper approximately 1/8". With the needle in your fabric, lift your presser foot, pull the zipper tab to close the zipper, then pivot the fabric 90 degrees to stitch across the bottom of the zipper. Stop at the seam marking on the 2nd side of zipper tape. With the needle in your fabric, pivot the fabric and sew up the 2nd side of the zipper. Remove the basting stitch and open the zipper. Next, sew the remaining 3 sides of the pillow. Reinforce corners with tiny stitches. Trim corners at 45 degree angles to remove excess fabric. Press seams open. Turn pillow right side out and you're done!!!

[@EmilyGarbe]
