I just got my first sewing machine and I spent hours looking for the best KZfaq channels that could help me learn. Overall, yours has hands down been my favorite! A slip cover for a throw pillow was my first project and it looks so cute in my daughter's room! I could not have asked for a better tutorial. Not only are you a great teacher, but the clean editing and clear visuals make a huge difference. Thank you so much for making these!

I randomly found your channel trying to make pillow covers and watched a few more of your videos. I like the way you explain everything in simple terms and make everything seem easy, and not so scary. I'm a pretty beginner level sewer so this is perfect for me. Thanks!!! I will keep watching more of your videos for ideas and projects.

Thanks so much for this, Dana. I just made my "first" sewing project in many, many years, and I chose this pillow sham. I really like your idea of having the sham snug against the pillow form, so I used your format for measuring my fabric. I picked up 2 beautiful 20"x20" pillows at Costco (Northern California) for only $16.49, much cheaper than pillow forms at the craft store. The covers turned out great, and now I have washable/changeable pillow shams for the dogs to lay on when chillaxing with us while watching TV!

This was a fantastic how-to video. I am so pleased with how my pillow turned out. I did use a velvet fabric for my piping which was a bit harder to work with than a regular cotton might have been. My zipper foot was also slightly different than what is shown in this video so I had to really manuever the fabric to get a tight stitch against the piping. Overall, very helpful video and very thrilled with my new skill!
