\"How<\/a>  <\/div>\n
In my opinion, it’s the little touches that take a sewing project from ho-hum to fabulous, and there are few things that can accomplish that effect quite as dynamically as adding piping, and especially custom piping made to match your project to a tee. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Just recently I used piping in the bumpers I made for George’s nursery bedding set<\/a>…<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
…and in my Vintage Photo Pillows.<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
When it comes to children’s garments, no one uses piping quite as well as my friend Lindsay from The Cottage Home.<\/a> See that custom-made piping detail at the collar of this adorable dress? Impeccable!<\/div>\n

Not long ago, I was completely intimidated by the thought of using piping. I didn’t know how to insert it, much less make it myself. After a bit of practice, though, I found working with piping is not only very straightforward – it’s downright fun! <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Today, I’m going to share with you how to make and insert your own custom piping by demonstrating how I did so to make this Bee Happy Pillow to match the nursery decor. A pillow is a terrific beginner project to hone your piping skills!<\/div>\n

Note: <\/i>The basic construction of this pillow is identical to the process I used for my Freshly Squeezed Pillow Set<\/a> last spring, with a few exceptions:<\/div>\n
