[@maryhull531]

Lovely Sookie and I love the scriptural quote too . Beautiful.

[@SookieSews]

Thank you! It was a gift for a friend and that is her favorite scripture. I as thinking of doing a bunch of bible verses in a new collection, stay tuned.

I have embroidered on these pillow blanks and they work really well. On one I did a little Spring scene with ducks on one side and bunnies on the back. I display the bunny side through Easter and then flip over to the ducklings for the rest of Spring.

Your pillow sounds adorable!

[@beckyfendrick324]

Your directions were spot on. I did it! Love your tutorial. Thanks!

[@SookieSews]

So glad it worked!!

Do you have a video on placing the zipper?

[@SookieSews]

So these pillow cases come with the zipper. It’s a “blank” you can embroider on. They are from OESD and coke in gobs of colors. I’ve got a link to their website but you can find them at lots of dealers too.

[@SookieSews]

Aww thank you! I hope to always bring value to your sewing space.

[@beckyfendrick324]

Loved this video, but what size pillow form did you use?

[@SookieSews]

Glad you enjoyed. The pillow blanks from OESD are all 14”x14” you can find them in their website here oesd.com/oesd-easy-sew-pillow-blanks/?sku=OESD80452&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw1emzBhB8EiwAHwZZxbShie4bzqAtpGWifaa9cIzgooiPHdrgdK1S6QNtsV4YQxo943lsDBoCKS0QAvD_BwE

[@beckyfendrick324]

@@SookieSews Correct but what size pillow insert is used to stuff inside the finished blank?

[@SookieSews]

@beckyfendrick324 generally the size of the pillow is the same as the finished measurements, so in this case a 14” pillow form. Unless you want a looser for then 12”.
