I looked around and it looks like "they" are still teaching the old way so it isn't our fault we are stuck in our old ways! I hope you look around the site, I tell lots of things I just stumble on here. I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't been too active here lately since I'm trying to actually produce something that pays the rent now! Focused on painting and doodling more right now so you'll see more activity over on Polly-Wolly Doodle...if that sort of thing interests you.<br />n.nancybabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258602606662669823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027462234814278678.post-49481369029175727622012-02-23T14:54:11.281-05:002012-02-23T14:54:11.281-05:00Newbie here...Just got my first email from you and...Newbie here...Just got my first email from you and love the tutorial!

Sure, you could do this with anything,...Hi Finnie,<br /><br />Sure, you could do this with anything, not just pillows...I just mention pillows because that's what I was working on and most people can visualize what I'm talking about by just the words.<br /><br />Now, I suppose you could tack it but it'll add a lot of time that, if you are like me, there is so little of when doing something like this. One thing you could do is stitch it all the way to the edge of a side. Stop, fold that edge over before stitching the next side...and sew that down at the same time you do the next side seam. Make sense, kinda hard to explain. I actually saw that done by someone "out there" (????) But that only takes care of one folding of the sides, not both.<br /><br />One of my solutions for the opening is to leave it open big enough and top stitch around ALL the edges so that closing the opening will be less obvious...you can see that on my pictures. <br /><br />Hope I haven't confused you more!<br />nnancybabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258602606662669823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027462234814278678.post-66908611732764827022012-02-23T09:54:06.501-05:002012-02-23T09:54:06.501-05:00Hey!

Great idea-coupla questions for ya tho-1.could you tack this instead of pinching- I sometimes find I didnt leave a big enough opening for all of my hand to fit into,2.Will this trick work on other projects equally as well as pillows?

Thanks for stopping by and com...Hey Cat and Cathy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Cat, a door pillow is just a little pillow you hang on the doorknob with a ribbon (in my case anyway). It can say welcome, Baby Sleeping, child's name...whatever...just a soft little sign or decoration. Would you believe that I had to make some for a ladies bathroom because she had so many rooms no one knew where to go!!!<br /><br />Cathy, thanks so much for telling me where you came from! She had asked about reposting the idea but I didn't know that she had....that would explain why my little sharp corner post has suddenly popped up tons of times on Pinterest! HA! I wondered.nancybabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258602606662669823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027462234814278678.post-36283210593519489472012-02-23T00:39:43.813-05:002012-02-23T00:39:43.813-05:00That's an amazing trick!
