I've made 12 pillows using your video and...they have all turned out beautifully! Thank you for taking the time to share your talent with the world!

[@treasurie]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching :)

[@user-nz7rw4fs4y]

Super facile merci beaucoup

[@palominojoy1899]

I’m blown away, I haven’t put a zip in anything for years as I’d get so frustrated with how it’s usually taught. This has got to be the easiest and neatest zip I have ever done. Thank you!💗

[@treasurie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@josephinebarker6307]

I love the simple instructions.. no long talking or blah!! Just simple and to the point!

[@treasurie]

Thanks so much

[@roversmum150]

Thank you! At 60 years of age I just put in my first ever zipper. Your tutorial was perfect.

[@treasurie]

60 is young :) Congratulations!

[@marnie9262]

Me too and I am 60.

[@kristinefriend7344]

Great tutorial!! I decided that instead of buying different throw pillows for all the holidays, I'm just going to make covers and reuse the same inserts. It'll save so much room!

[@treasurie]

Great idea! Thanks for watching

[@erinparsons9474]

This is hands down the best video on how to install a zipper. No confusion, no questions, just pure perfect information. Thank you SO much, I finally can now make things with zippers without being afraid to mess up! My project turned out SO well!
Thank you! 💕💕💜💜💕💕

[@treasurie]

Thanks for watching :)

[@VeryNaughtyBoy42]

[@treasurie]

[@treasurie]

[@jdmarr2259]

As others have stated, the zipper part of your tutorial was 100% gold!
I've got zips & have watched a lot of videos & yours made it look much less intimidating.
Thanks!

[@tatejeremias6535]

you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@decalpals8496]

Excellent video!! I've sewn for more years than I care to mention but this is an excellent video for a beginner, as well as an experienced sewist like myself who needed to brush up on the technique! Thanks.

[@treasurie]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Glad to help.

[@lainieholland]

Haven't put a zip in for so long. Watching your excellent video brought it all back. Thank you so much; now I can complete the silk hand embroidered cushion I have been stitching on and off for 4 years. :)

[@treasurie]

4 years is a long time. It must be beautiful :)

[@sfmom6240]

Best DIY video ever! I love that they've produced this with clear instructions through video and captions instead of speaking. An easy to follow and good sewing technique video.

[@treasurie]

Wow, thank you!

[@treasurie]

Hi Neuly, thanks so much for the lovely feedback :) Have a great weekend.

[@evaindie3335]

A brilliant and absolutely fantastic demonstration. I’ve learnt so sew zips so quickly from this. Thank you.

[@treasurie]

You are so welcome!

[@sonnyalaan1302]

Thank you. That was a very easy & fun zipper tutorial...now I’m practicing on 3 different zipper sizes on 3 different fabrics.

[@treasurie]

Thanks so much for watching :)

[@phumimthiyane289]

This video is perfect, easy to follow. I finished my first pillow through it. Thank you. Zip was my challenge but you made it easier

[@treasurie]

Thanks for watching :)

[@7kraska]

Great tutorial! I just used it for sewing a pillow cover from beautiful fabric I thrifted and it turned out amazing. Thank you!

[@treasurie]

Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm so pleased to hear that your cover turned out brilliantly!

[@BzerkBnny]

thank you for that video and the blog posts! it was my first time cutting and sewing a zipper and the result is just amazing!

[@treasurie]

Fantastic! Happy to help :)

[@connectedptwellness4682]

My first time installing a zipper, and this technique worked perfectly! Thanks for creating a great tutorial!!

[@treasurie]

Thanks for watching :)

[@SnigdhShreya]

Loved the fabric and texture!!!

[@treasurie]

These were cotton quilting fabrics. They made really nice covers. Thanks for watching.

[@cgoldie6168]

Fantastic tutorial! I am a beginner and just made a Xmas cushion cover and so pleased with it, thanks to you! Keep the tutorials coming please 🙂

[@treasurie]

Thank you! Will do!

[@loispratt143]

Thank you for this. It is by far the easiest way I have ever been shown how to put in a zipper! Oh, and I love your rings & nail color! :-)

[@treasurie]

Hi Lois, thanks so much for watching. I have a nice collection of fun rings for my videos now. Thanks for noticing.

[@tamaraclapper]

Thank you for such a great video! I made two this afternoon!

[@treasurie]

That's so great! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@RonsonDalby]

First pillow tutorial I've seen where the zipper sewing was done on the right side of the fabric. Thank you for the video.

[@treasurie]

You are so welcome!

[@olgamoraiti]

What a great solution for the zipper! Thanks! :)

[@treasurie]

Hi Olga, thanks for watching. Yes I always think this is the easiest way for skirts too.

[@plinkthecat8543]

I have never done a zipper like this. Gotta try it! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@treasurie]

Hi Plink, thanks for the comments and for watching. Good luck with your pillow.

[@ice9594]

Thanks, great lesson! I esp. liked the tape trick to hold the zipper before pinning!

[@treasurie]

Yes it is a good trick. Thanks for watching

[@ginamariegarcia9461]

I have been watching other video's on how to do this, they suck. Your video is what I was searching for. Thank you

[@treasurie]

Love your comment as you made me laugh :) Thanks so much for watching.

[@joannalivingston1139]

I have never used a sewing machine for anything in my entire life. I started practicing yesterday and today I felt confident enough to attempt a simple pillow case. This tutorial is amazing. I was successful! Tons of room for improvement but I did it! Thank you so much!!

[@treasurie]

That is so great to hear. You didn't even start with the simplest pillow. You did an amazing job if you managed a zipper on your first attempt. Keep sewing.

[@joannalivingston1139]

I can’t believe it!! I had to look up how to do the edges for near the zipper but I don’t think I have the right foot so I did something a little different there but still ended up with a fantastic looking pillow! 👏🏼 Thanks again!! I’ll be watching this tutorial again until I’m comfortable enough to tackle this project on my own. 😊

[@maithomas5249]

Such an excellent tutorial - thank you!

[@treasurie]

Thank you very much. And thank you for watching.

[@treasurie]

Thank you so much!

[@duncanstopmotion]

I thought I could figure it out for myself, but this showed very clearly how wrong I was. I had to do some unpicking and start again following the procedure you show so clearly and it worked out nicely. Thanks!

[@treasurie]

Thanks for watching :)

[@debb15]

My first ever cushion cover 😊 thank you so much for a really easy to follow tutorial. I will definitely be making some more 😍

[@treasurie]

Thank you for the nice feedback.

[@carmengilla6405]

That is by far the best instructional video on sewing a zipper on cushions. I did it but i had difficulty around the pull. Maybe my mistake is I did it too close.
