    Thanks to you I have just made my first ever bolster cover and I’m really pleased. Your instructions are easy to follow and I was very impressed you didn’t use any pins (I used loads). It is very pleasing that people like you are willing to share your expertise.

    Hi, nice instructional video with cery crleat explanations. Can I ask the brand of the scissors you are using?
  • @MariaH-du9mz
    When you added the bolster insert - did you push the seams on the inside towards the circle ends or away and back towards the main body or /tube? Thank you and thanks for taking the time to make the video

    I love it. I'm about to make a neck roll pillow for Sis who has arthritis. I bought an already covered pillow from Jo-Ann Crafts, will do the measurements & cover w/really sweet nursing fabric. My zippers are not detachable so that will be a challenge. Any suggestions for that type of zipper job? Thanks! Sewing in 🇺🇸

    excuse my total ignorance in the subject, but can one make the cushion without a zip?..
