If you want to impress someone, sew a zipper into anything. You are basically taking credit for how inherently cool a zipper is. I have been experimenting with making pillow covers. My new best friend- a little blue seam ripper. There is no method to the madness. First, I sew a zipper into a piece of fabric. Then, I figure out how to make that fabric part of a pillow cover. I've been stealing random squares of mesmerizing vintage fabrics from a few old quilt pieces I have acquired. It is a tricky business, paying respect to the labor of our elders by painstakingly unraveling the fruits of it. Stay tuned for quilted bangle bracelets- a longheld dream.
