Sew your PIPING to a PILLOW in this video here:
.
Piping is a fun trim that adds a 3D pop of color to your sewing projects–it’s sort of the sister to bias tape, but with rope, or cording, sewn inside. You can buy it at the store BUT you can just as easily make your own! I’ll show you how. Then you can sew it around a pillow, chair cushion, pants pocket, dress collar, on a bag…on so many projects. Come sew with me!
