Martha?

Thats right people, I sewed a pillow...with piping...and a zipper!

Feel free to call me Martha.

Here it is in all its glory.

Not only was this sewing experience a complete success, it was also a great deal!

I purchased the piping from Jo-Anns for $1.79, the fabric pieces were samples on clearance for $2.00 each, and I already had the zipper.

That makes the pillow case a whoppin $4.79.

Check out that piping...

I love having different fabrics on each side, just incase I feel crazy and want to switch it up mid-day. 

Don't put it past me, I have been known to do crazy things like that.

And a close-up of the zipper, yep I actually did it!

I have also been busy working on my pillows from my fabric scraps.

Recognize the chevron print?

It got dressed up with some spicy yellow piping as well.

I still need to refine my piping skills, you may notice it overlapping on the floral pillow, 3rd time's a charm, right?

Sewing a pillow with piping and a zipper may not seem like a big deal to all you sewing gurus, but it was a big accomplishment for me!

I can't wait to make more.
