Quilting, sewing, pets, home decor, and gardening
Pillow cases are a great quilting project. They let you get your quilting fix in a much shorter amount of time. I also like making pillow cases because they show off my pretty fabric and don’t take up too much room in the linen cabinet. I especially love making seasonal quilted pillow covers!
Zipper tabs are super easy to make and they’re great for lots of projects. I use these mostly on pouches and pillow cases, but you can use them anywhere you want to conceal the end of a zipper and make it look pretty.
